New PTZ over Existing Fixed Camera Install

[vin2install 0]

I have a client where they want to put a PTZ over an existing fixed camera install. They have Siamese coax ran to the camera location.

Is there any way to get RS-485 controls without having to run an extra 18-2 wire?

 

Thanks guys

Hi vin2install. you could use one of these and run your power/video/audio down the coax and that will leave the siamese power to use as your PTZ control.

Or get cameras and a controller that support Coaxitron (or other control-over-coax protocol).

 

Lots of threads here about it...

Pelco, Infinova and Panasonic do control up the coax, would have to buy matching keyboard or coaxitron producing equipment such as Pelco MPT 9000.

Problem with this is that the customer has already bought a ptz to use.
