jeromephone 6 Posted June 19, 2018 Most DVRs have a ptz controller built in. dring the camera setup you can check that option and control the camera that way with a virtual controller. the other thing is that the stand alone controller will work with both cams but you need to give each one its own address. the older analog ones i worked with were usually pelco P protocol and I think 9600 baud rate and an address set with dip switches 00 to 200 or something.

tomcctv 190 Posted June 20, 2018 Hi. Your rj45 on the controller would have gone with to a dvr with rj45. Ptz control or to a breakout box. The breakout box would of given two output options But if you want to go rj45 to dvr rs485 Make a new lead up ..... on the rj45 only use two wires one goes to pin 3 and one goes to pin 5 3 will go into dvr + 5 will go into dvr - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
