Can anyone tell me if the EDSR400H unit supports Pelco D or P?

hello everyone, I have a geovision card with a single everfocus ptz camera that I am testing. The pan/tilt speed is fine if I use the ptz control on the computer with dvr card. When I use the ptz controls on the web interface the movement is erratic and slow. Is it possible to configure the web ptz control to behave the same way as the local dvr interface?

Looking for input on this camera. The specs say 27x, but I find this hard to believe.

I am looking for a video server that has the "Click-in-Image" function found on the Axis standalone servers. Does anyone here know of another vendor that provides the same functionality? Martin

I had already looked at their line of equipment. Video server looks impressive, but does it have the specific feature "click-in-image" I am looking for? I couldn't tell reading the online manuals. Which distributor sells the product or is it just direct sales?

You are right it is the price. The customer wants an affordable video server to view/control 5 PTZ cameras. I have tried the Vivotek/4xem standalone servers. This solution works, but you have to repeatdly click the onscreen directional buttons to move the camera into place. Presets help, but the only real solution is the "click-to-image" function found on the Axis units. I looked at the demo, better than clicking away, but the customer would still prefer "click-to-image" function. Thanks

Sorry I wasn't clear in my original post. I am aware of the drivers supplied by Axis for particular PTZ cameras. I was just looking for a competitive unit from another vendor that would have the same features, but with a smaller price tag. Looks like my only choice is Axis. Thanks

The feature allows to you move the PTZ camera by clicking an area on the image where you want the camera to center on. This is faster and more precise than clicking on a button or slider bar.

I am looking for a standalone video server minus the camera. A unit with capabilities similar to the Axis 241 series. Thanks in advance

Right, it's pelco p

The dvr box has a static ip address. I am typing in the private ip address of the box into the web browser and not the name of the box. I am using pelco d protocol set at 9600 baud rate with a gv-net card.

There is very little latency as both of these computers are isolated on a single gigabit ethernet switch away from the other computers and the Internet. I sent a continuous ping test while viewing/moving the webcam, the delay was never more than 6ms. The streaming image displayed on the web interface is flawless. My problem is the responsiveness/behavior of the ptz controls. If I click and hold the left or right ptz button on dvr box the movement is flawless. If I do the same using the web/remote viewer applications the movement is slow and erratic. The pan/tilt stepper motor movement is fluid on the local dvr, but erratic (start/stop/start/stop) using the web interface. Is it possible to edit an ini or some setting in the web interface to allow for larger stepper motor movement?

I should have mentioned that the delayed pan/tilt movement is happening over the local lan when using the web ptz controls. The dvr computer and the desktop computer are both on the same 1gb ethernet switch. I also installed the multicam remote viewer on the desktop computer. The results were the same, slow and jerky pan/tilt movement.
