Geovision PTZ control

Recommended Posts

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.

 

Thanks

Michael

Your cable should be fine.

 

If the server has built-in serial ports (DB-9 male) those should work as well.
