pelco IS90

Recommended Posts

acquired a used pelco IS90 dome camera. The internals were disconnected had to put everything back together. I must say that thing is like a rubix cube. Does anyone know if the board just floats on the internal housing pegs it doesn't seem secure when you move the axis? I downloaded the manual off pelco's site but it doesn't go into detail about how dome is put together. Have a feeling it might be missing a piece. If not just looks like a bad design.

The camera board itself should be screwed to its mounts, but the rotation ring, where the whole assembly clips into the housing, does just sort of float free - if memory serves, there's nothing that actually locks it down.

 

You're right, they are a really poor design and feel like really cheap construction. A bigger frustration with the Pelcos, for me, is their use of a submini-TS jack for the service port... and especially, the way they bury it deep in the bottom of ths IS90. It wouldn't be so bad if they actually provided a cable of some sort with the camera... but they don't.

 

But enough ranting... we've long since abandoned the Pelco domes for CNBs, which are much better designed and cost far less
