vv4yn0 0 Posted November 13, 2010 I made the silly mistake of buying a JVC PTZ camera without checking the supported protocols and now find that my DVR does not support its propriety JVC PTZ protocol. I am scratching for a way to control this camera without forking out to buy a JVC DVR which runs into the thousands. I cant find any protocol converters that support the JVC protocol nor any software that I could use with an RS232 to RS485 converter on my PC. I was hoping for some learned suggestions from the group. (apart from "do your research, drongo!!") Thanks for any help Wayne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vv4yn0 0 Posted May 18, 2013 After some searching I eventually got onto the JVC engineering department that designed the camera and they supplied a small test program that ran from the PC - it was too cumbersome to use and I eventually swapped to a panasonic PTZ camera and dedicated desk controller. I still have the software and if you give me an email address I will shoot it through to you. The guy I was communicating with is the fellow who made the software and his contact details are in the program but I don't know if he still works for JVC.
