benigno 0 Posted June 4, 2010 Hi, I'm a newby here. Hello to all. I have a Bosch motorized lens installed with a Bosch Dinion camera. But it needs a controller to adjust zoom and focus. The lens comes with a zoom control cable terminated with an 8-pin female connector. I wonder if I can find a solution other than Bosch. I have a PTZ-supported DVR. Cameras use a multiple 12VAC power supply. The least expensive Bosch solution is, I think, a receiver/driver plus a joystick controller, which is costly. I just need to tweak the zoom and focus periodically when need arises. Hope somebody suggests the right way to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropna 0 Posted June 7, 2010 If you need cheap solution, you can use only two 3 position switches, and 12 VDC power supply http://www.fujinon.co.jp/en/products/cctv/pdf/j_1.pdf But. Only for "short" distances, an no possibility to control via DVR.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benigno 0 Posted June 7, 2010 Thank you Shropna. The cameras already have a multiple power supply (12VAC). But what kind of switches are you referring to? What would I ask for when buying? Do the switches attach to the lens motorized cable and how do I control the zoom and focus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
