I switched to a program called PTZ controller just to test my hardware and right away, the camera worked fine with the same hardware config as was set up for PEECO 2000. When using a program called PORTMON to confirm the traffic to the PC RS-232 (upstream of the RS-485 converter), the characters of the first two or second two bytes transmitted contained the number 8 indicating the last bit being set. When reviewing to the PELCO D protocol described in the data sheet shipped with the camera, those bits are described as "invariably 0" (not a 1 as is in my case). The PTZ Controller program does not set those same bits(as proven when viewed through PortMon. Whether the PEECO2000 is acquired on EBay or through the Canadian Website as a 30 day trial, the results for me are the same. I could swear that I recall (before I learned this) seeing a website describing who to fix this. Anyone know the answer?

This program doesn't submit the proper PELCO D protocol. I have intercepted the traffic to the serial port on my machine using what is most likely the same setup you have. Devils 4 port capture card with hacked Chinese PEECO2000. The first 2 Bytes have the number 8 in them and should contain 0 invariably according to the PELCO D protocol that I have read (specifically the one that shipped with my PTZ camera). If anyone knows how to mod the command table inside PEECO2000 to insert the correct commands then please let me know as the software would be usable for me if I could simply adjust the words in those two bytes.
