theothrknd 0 Posted March 7, 2012 This is my first PTZ camera. All my other cameras are network cameras so I know not how to make a true PTZ work. Does anyone have the know how to hook this up to an Axis 243q encoder? Do I need to set the Buad switches? I have it hooked up to the encoder. The power light is on the cameras power supply, so it is getting power, but when I try to view it through the Axis server, it shows and says "no video" Help, help, help Security of a free nation depends on your help Danny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
postaleyes 0 Posted March 7, 2012 First make sure your camera is actually emitting video and you cable is working, by hooking it up to a handheld monitor or a different monitor. On the Blade video server there should be a dip switch box with at least 4 dip switches on it. Turn the switch off (up) for the one that you connected the video to. Page 25 talks about PTZ's. I hope at least some of this you haven't heard before. http://www.axis.com/files/manuals/um_243q_32637_en_0901.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theothrknd 0 Posted March 8, 2012 Thank you! Okay, I have the dip switch correct and still no video image. I do not own a monitor or a handheld device, so I should take it somewhere that I can verify the unit is functioning correctly first. I will do that and reply back. Thanks again.
