Can anyone refer me to a source doc for the PTZ protocol for a Lilin PIH-7600? Our community center was given 3 of these cams and their proposed location and use would benefit from PTZ control rather than locking them in a fixed position. I plan on using them with some relatively inexpensive PC hardware and software, rather than a dedicated DVR, keyboard/joystick, etc. Thanks,

That's essentialy the same manual that came with the cams. No protocol info in it. I want to avoid purchasing a lilin kybd/joystick just to do setup and occasional manual positioning. If I have the PTZ telemetry protocol I can duplicate the positioning functioning in PC software or a standalone device, such as home automation hardware. I did find a test program that can be used for basic PTZ function testing for Pelco and Lilin. But I figured that full documentation on the protocol must be "out there" somewhere, as other DVR and security manufacturers (Geovision is one I think) have developed products that work with Lilin PTZ. (I did do a lot of Google searching a few days ago but didn't come up with anything. But I did find this site, which is good to know.) thanks, Steve
