irishcrows 0 Posted March 18, 2010 Hi All When setting up a GeoVision system we built our own video server. In order to control the PTZ Pelco dome cameras we are using a RS-485 to USB cable. While doing research here I noticed that there are GV-COM and GV-Net cards that have data converters. Are these necessary to control the cameras, or is my RS-485 to USB cable sufficient? I was wondering if these cards are doing some with the data from the GeoVision software before sending the control data to the PTZ camera.

Soundy 1 Posted March 18, 2010 Your cable should be fine. If the server has built-in serial ports (DB-9 male) those should work as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
