Lol send them cameras to south Florida and the problem is solved.

Again, you must match the DVR and PTZ address and protocol. Follow this steps: Let's setup your Pelco PTZ to Pelco D, 2400 baud rate, address 1 1. DIP switch #3 must be on all OFF position. (that is Pelco D at 2400 baud rate) 2. DIP switch #1, turn ON switch #1( that is address #1) 3. Install the PTZ and make sure you have the right settings by looking at the configuration screen. D address: 1 P address: 2 Comm: 2400, N, 8, 1 Configure done Now setup your DVR by matching the above configurations. I want you to move the BNC wire of the PTZ to DVR input #1 Under PTZ device of the DVR menu make sure it is on channel #1 Under RS485 device of the DVR menu select Pelco D or (Pelco Spectra if available) Make sure your data wire RX+ and RX - polarity are correct.

You have to do both. 1] On your modem/router put the Tenda IP to DMZ. 2] Do your port forwarding on Tenda Since your Tenda is already on DMZ no port forwarding is needed on the modem part. Just do your port forwarding on Tenda. Check your ports using canyouseeme.org to see if all ports are open.

Restart the DVR and disable the auto sequence/rotation by going to settings or maybe via the remote control. Good Luck! Phil

You should find the Tenda IP address under WAN.

Give me the following info so I can simplify the answer. what is the starting IP LAN IP address issued by your modem/router. what is the starting IP LAN address issued by Tenda. what is the IP address you assigned to the DVR. Ignore all UPNP

Make sure your auto sequence/rotate is disable.

You have 2 routers, 1 is modem/router from your ISP and 1 is Tenda that you added. You need to port forward the IP address of the Tenda to your modem/router or add the IP address of Tenda to the DMZ. Good Luck! Phil

Hmmm this is an IP HD camera. Video balun is used for transmission of analog (composite) signal via twisted pair (UTP) and I don't think Pelco make CVI, TVI, SDI or AHD. Use the RJ45 (CAT5) to transmit video signal and data. Good Luck! Phil

That is correct Survtech. The camera block is getting the command from the mainboard, e.g open/close iris, zoom in/out and has nothing to do with the baud rate, protocol, and addressing. Good Luck! Phil

You need a 24VAC/ 50VA power supply to power up Pelco PTZ. If your housing is environmental and has fan and heater built into it you need at least 70VA at 24VAC. (do not use 24VAC plug in transformer that is 20VA) I am using Pelco WCS1-4 to power up my Pelco Spectra III and IV. Good Luck! Phil

Please explain why it will not work. All the microphones are stand alone and has nothing to do with the cameras. The audio input of the DVR is RCA analog and no encoding is involve unlike IP cameras.

My first suggestion refers to olsenblane idea to install external microphone to each camera. My suggestion of using Louroe MLA-8 audio mixer will solve his problems by combining all 8 microphones into one output. Phil

Since your DVR can only handle audio 1 input you need audio mixer made by Louroe.( Louroe Model #MLA- You can then bind/pair the audio to any channel you want, maybe all depend on your DVR make. Good Luck! Phil

The RJ45 on the back of your DVR is NOT for PTZ connection. It is for network connection only. Connect your PTZ data to RS485(A & B). Yes you can connect 2 or more PTZ's to your DVR. Give us more information about the model of your PTZ's. It maybe a IP PTZ's and it's not compatible with your analog DVR. Good Luck! Phil

According to your PTZ camera power specs, your camera can tolerate +10% of the input voltage (DC12V+10% 50W) that's around 1.2 volts. AT 100 feet in length using 18 guage wires at 14.2 VDC your losses is around 23% that's 2.64 volts (14.2-2.64=11.65 volts). You are very close to 12 volts but you forgot to mention the amps/wattage of the power supply you're using (14.2 VDC). Your PTZ consumption is 50 watts. Good Luck! Phil

Yes, your diagram is perfect and let us know the results. Phil

I answered a question similar to your problems. Here is the link viewtopic.php?f=6&t=49356 I am hoping you are using a good quality RG-59 with 18/2 or 16/2 power wires. Avoid using a premade undersize china made they claimed as Siamese RG-59. I included all the links where you can buy them. Good Luck & Happy New Year Phil

Please let us know what type and size of wires you are using and the approximate distance between the PTZ and the power supply.

I had this problems years ago. The controller joystick is the culprit. If you unplug the joystick you should be able to control the PTZ via OSD and smartphone. If you plug in the joystick you lost control of the PTZ via smartphone and client software OSD. I ended up replacing the joystick with Pelco KBD300A and everything works. Good Luck! Phil

It looks like you got the wrong camera. If you live in UK you need a PAL format. This is the camera title from ebay: "FLOUREON 1200TVL CCTV In/Outdoor Surveillance Home Security DVR Camera LED IR US" At the end, you will notice US it means for USA use and it's NTSC Good Luck & Happy Holidays! Phil

I would suggest to use a 24VAC 50VA power supply for the cameras that is 1000 and 600 feet away and use a AC to DC Power Converter (24VAC to 12VDC Regulator). The converter input is from 20-36 volts AC so even if your AC drop to 20 volts the regulator maintain its output to 12VDC. I recommend you use 14-16 power wire. I have tried this using 18/2 and I have no problems at all. Now let's go to your video signal. A good quality RG-59 can go as far as 1000 feet but that is no longer in compliant. Some cameras can tolerate this distance and have no problem at all. If you experience a signal drops and the image is wavy I suggest you use a ACTIVE video baluns by running CAT5 or CAT6 cable. Remember video baluns works on twisted pair wires or UTP.

Most PTZ's settings are via the dip switches (addressing and protocols). I haven't seen one that is "auto" detections of protocols and addressing. Please check the PTZ internal parts if you can see dip switches. Good Luck! Phil

Yes it is a voltage drop issue. If I were you I will use a 24VAC/50VA power supply to each PTZ camera. If your PTZ camera aren't dual voltage (12VDC/24VAC) then I will use AC to DC Power Converter (24VAC to 12VDC Regulator) at the end of the camera. They are rated at 2 amps at 12VDC some are more. I am assuming your power wire is at least #18 or better. Even if your AC drop to 20 volts you're still getting 12VDC all the time. Good Luck!

Have you tried using 2 piece crimp-on BNC's? They are easy to make and shorter than compression BNC's. You need a RG-59 crimper and splicer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-pcs-CCTV-Security-Camera-BNC-Crimp-Connector-Male-Type-for-Siamese-RG-Cable-/172040319508?hash=item280e66f214:g:cgsAAOSw3xJVbiC1 How to Crimp-On Good Luck!
