hi. i need a dvr that can have its camera channel display changed using a PTZ Joystick controler box i.e when i choose lets say camera 002 on the joystick controller then camera 002 will be displayed in full screen automatically. i need this as i was hoping to link 6 PTZ cameras into a dvr in one building and monitor and control them from another building 200 metres away. i dont need an expensive dvr as i only need it to switch the channel being displayed. i have looked on ebay but could only seam to see dvr's with a RS485 which only gave the ability of the DVR to control the PTZ but not the joystick controller to control the DVR. can anyone help me please??

You are now good to go!

Most name brand DVR's like Panasonic, Bosch, GE, etc. will do that out of the box, especially when you run the same brand joystick controller.

Its when you run inexpensive gear, off-brand equipment, and 3rd party controllers that you run into issues. It can be done, but its not as streamline.
