Has anybody ever managed to get a Vido dome to work with Geovision?

The model is au g40 wb27


Any tips?

The Vido supports multi-protocol for the PTZ functions. Just choose Pelco D on your Vido by setting the correct dip switch position & do the same for the Geovision. I presume you have an RS232-485 connected to your serial port & the cable is connected to the Vido as well?

I am using a gv-net card. This has a lead which goes from com1 into the card using a rj11 type connector.

Does this sound right?


I have tried all the protocol settings to no avail

I use mine without the GV-Net but it's a similar item so no issue there! My advice is to trouble shoot the item 1 by 1.

1. Is your com port functioning?

2. Could the Vido be defective? Try using a different DVR to test it if possible.

3. Also, the Geovision is a bit sickenening when it comes to setting the PTZ.
If I remember correctly there is 2 steps instead of 1 to do a simple thing! But I don't really remember because I help out a dealer of mine who bought a VIDO from me.
