Hey everyone i just got the SVP-DNC10X ptz camera and i was just doing a bench test on it. i read the instructions on the dvr and the ptz manuals and i swear to god that i have it all correctly set up problems are mainly that the stupid thing wount power up at all let alone show me video or move for me. if you have any ideas please help me your cctv fan Beer

hey i did what you told me about the pre set up thing and im doing just that.... i have no clue why the ptz is not working i read the instructions and i am sure i hooked it up properly and nothing....

hmmmm well i have alot of different cameras the power supply didnt come yet because it was held at suctoms for some stupid reason i have 5 ir indoor domes 3 sensor hiden cams 1 zoom dome 2 PTZ's 1 vandal proof dome it and one bullet ir 54. and one otherone im not to sure of but its coming.... i have a 16 channel dvr with 3 tb of space standalone and a controller but everything is 12v except for the dvr your cctv fan Beer

lol im kind of a dummy i read the whole manual and i looked closely at the 5pin for the terminal block... and crap i only have the one for the 12v the 24v has 6 pin terminal... so they are not that presise when they sell the product eh so basically i am stuck with 12 v so you are saying that 12v at the end connection ( at the ptz) the voltage diminishes? .... your cctv fan Beer

oh i forgot - i have a 16 channel dvr but only using 13 including 2 ptz's

this is what it says on the manual: powersupply: -24v - AC 650mA (1.1 with heater) -12v DC 750mA (1.3 with heater) protocals pelco d/p now when im picking the protocals can you please tell me which one is the better one. both are compatible regardless. and the bitrate please. the max for this one is 9600bps but is set to 2400 bps. thanks your cctv fan Beer

aaaaa!!!! what ur telling me is that i have to buy another power supply for my PTZ's? .... i got a unified power box for 18 imputs 12v from the USA and i live in canada so i dunno what to do. its an expensive camera so i dont wana break it. i do know that it does have the 12 / 24 imput option. what my plan was - have the central power supply by my apc power back up gen. so in case of power outage my dvr and cameras will still work for 30 min. aprox. now that i have 2 cameras that are different ?(well what your tellng me is that 12v sux) so then i have two that are not going to be appart of the supply... your cctv van Beer

see the thing is i mass ordered everything and i bought 18 channel 12v powersupply... the maximum distance from the dvr would probably be 200ft - 250ft it does have a heater. also i looke at the controller i bought and it has rs485 connections im guessing thats just cat 5. To be honest i have no clue how to set this up... what i get from hte manual i- i hook the controller to the dvr then the 2 pc to the dvr as well not to the controller... tell me if im wrong or better idea thanks alot your cctv fan Beer

wow thanks for the replys why is 12 volt better then 24???? i had bought a 18 imput power supply for my 16 cameras. hope that wount be an issue. and thanks again to VST_Man- very nice detailed message. your cctv fan Beer

hmmm Bigjay... the thing with dual cameras (ir - color in the day and b/w durring the night) is that the ir LED's are projected onto your image like a flash light. Now, what i understand from your problem is that its not a problem... people may "glow" because the LED's are more focused in that area if u catch my drift. This will result in glowing people or objects. hope this helps your cctv fan Beer

i just got it from shippment today and it looks kind of "big" for a "mini" ptz dome Any way, what i was wondering is how to install the thing... i know how to physicaly install it and i do have a service monitor but i have no clue how to hook it up. it has no BNC connectors for video so i need to use cat five then conversion for that but can someone please help me on this!!! its my first ptz and im very excited on getting it operational.
