hi all i have one of these and we taken it out just after it went dead, and its stayed like that for a while now im looking to find out if its possible to fix but drawing a blank, power seems to be going though the unit but no picture and doent seem to try and give a picture. pritty much i need to know if it one of those jobs that is not worth spending time working out the fault of if there is a common fault that can be fix any ideas welcome ron

im setting up a VC8E ptz dome and got a rs485 to rs232 adaptor do i need power to the adaptor? as its got conections for it. and also i got the 4 dip switches on the dome any ideas on what these are ment to be set to? as you can imagin i got the picture but cant control though dvr software thnks for any help

ive tryed all that and many other settings but im starting to thing there may be a problem with my rs485/323 converter any way of testing this do you know?

found this problem the otherday and we used HUMBAR Rejecters, turned out the other cameras which were on another building, were using mains from a different supply (actually differnt Phase) to the one of DVR and monitor. sorted out no problem. as for your problem the other post are more likly to be right as im new ish to this but worth keeping in mind

hi all, ive got this DVRNET software with the card hardware but though all my effor im unable to get my VCL PTZ dome to function, tryed numerus protocals but nothing any ideas?????????

thanks for reply right so i guess mine does require power. how would i find out the right protocal for this camera? is it something to do with the dip switch.

thanks for your reply, well at the moment im bypassing all control ie through my pc based dvr sofware and just seeing if the unit works. and no it doesnt go through the start up spin. ive checked the fuse and there is power to the main board.
