scorpion 0 Posted November 6, 2008 http://www.cctvco.com/CN100_Pelco_D_converter.html I am looking for a replacement for this device. Entry level pricing requested, and not the top of the line product. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wattwire 0 Posted November 7, 2008 "Converts any hardwired PTZ to PELCO D..."??? Quite a claim. Sounds like a prank product to me, but I found a couple of places that claim to sell this contraption. Here's one with a listed price: http://www.peekaboo4u.com/Eclipse%20CCTV%20new/webpages/CCTV_Controllers2.html Still, it looks bogus to me. -dw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted November 7, 2008 It is a real product! There lies the problem. Peek a Boo gets their products from Eclipse as well. Eclipse no longer carries this product. Yes I can call every Vendor who still has one in stock, but then what? I am trying to be proactive rather than reactive. I want to find a like product where I can replace it. Actually it is not for me. Another Dealer is asking, and I thought I would help him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survtech 0 Posted November 7, 2008 Perhaps it is time for the customer to retire the hard-wired PTZ's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wattwire 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Perhaps it is time for the customer to retire the hard-wired PTZ's. Survtech makes a good point and I'm beginning to get the picture. The associate has a large stock of non-Pelco conforming PTZs and wants to use them with cheaper DVRs that only recognize Pelco D (or vice-versa?). This is a little off subject, but I have to share the fact I've recently installed a Wonwoo WSJ-300 PTZ and was delighted to discover that it had a multi-protocol "auto sense" setting. All that I needed to do was set the baud rate/parity and it just works given that it receives one of a long list of protocols it recognizes. This could solve the problem of having a DVR and PTZ joystick controller that don't share a common protocol. For instance, I have an older Pelco KBD300a controller that only speaks Pelco P. The Wonwoo PTZ could work with this controller and a Pelco D (yes, "D" also works at 4800 baud) only DVR at the same time. Slick. -dw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
