PTZ keeps spinning and spinning and ...

[Razesdark 0]

Hey guys,

 

Having a bit of a problem here which I can't quite figure out.

 

I've got a Bosch MIC500 attached to a AXIS Q7404 using RS458-4 wire.

Now the problem is that after playing around with the camera for a few seconds it almost feels like the buffer is running full.

 

At first the camera acts accordingly, but the more I stear it around the less it starts to react and after a while it just keep stuck in the last commando it was able to take. So basicly, my camera just spins around.

It stops spinning after I reboot the AXIS. I'm still not entirely sure it's the AXIS causing the troubles.

 

I got a 120 ohm resistor on the Rx pair on the camera as indicated in the manual, and I already tried different baud rates (4800 and 9600), both having the same issues.

 

So, anyone got any suggestions, cause I'm all out.

Do you have a way to temporarily bypass the Axis box and control the camera with something else? At least then you'd know whether the problem lies in the Axis box or in the camera itself.

 

There's also the slight possibility of some kind of network issue (e.g. lost packets). You could try plugging a laptop directly into the Axis using a short crossover Ethernet cable and seeing if you still have the issue.

 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
