DVR PTZ passthru?

   ( >> )

I have a customer with a Capture keyboard running three PTZ cameras, interfaced through a Capture HID2404CJL box. To facilitate upcoming upgrades, we need to move all their camera control to the DVR, but they're not happy about losing their existing keyboard/joystick control setup.

Now this 2404 box has a DB9 RS-232 port labeled "DVR"... so I'm wondering if anyone knows, is this to allow passthru of DVR control signals... or is it for output TO a DVR? If the former, it would make my job of switching them over a LOT simpler.

I think MAYBE for both,,, :roll:
The best way before you get an answer is to try to connect a DVR to have control,,,,

How about the software? I mean does this 2404 box through which the camera is controled has a software? I'm not clear with this box, maybe you can put on a picturer here for us to see and work out a way,,,
