scorpion 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Was the Ebay sellar a "person", or an online store? I would have thought this would be your best bet for info. As a person I would think they would have used it if you bought from them. Perhaps this is why they sold it? As a store front, and then they do not know how to help you tells me they are just box pushers. They failed to put tech support in to the business plan and therefore can pass the savings on to the customer. Some saving Ebay turned out to be! Rats! Let us know if you have contacted them!

scorpion 0 Posted December 7, 2009 cant work out how to use ptz as all the info i can find relates to rs485 or rs422 i have a rs422 serial adapator but cant find were to wire this to as all i can see on cables is r+and r- This is very common to PTZ cameras. Not all is lost. Do you have manuals with your PTZ? http://scorpiontheater.com/ptz.aspx See if the mini PTZ manual might clue you in on what you need to do! There is only two wires going to your camera it appears. RS 485 only needs two wires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
