hi

does the 24v power adaptor that comes with the qvis g3 ptz cameras have polarity

as i need to extend the power suply on 1 of them

and it doesnt say + or - on the connector

so does it mattter what way it goes

i have put the multimeter on both ways and it doesnt show a minus as it does on 12v when its the wrong way

i thought it was dc but in the manual it says ac

hi

whats the proper way to exit the idms iphone app on iphone 4s

ended up using 3 part ones

every one went perfect with no problems

i had to pay local camera shop 50p each

http://www.edscctv.co.uk/index.php?cPath=32

then i checked and everything on the site is £19.99

i was lookig at the ptz wiring on my friends cameras

the friend i helped a few weeks ago with the ptz cameras

and the apollo hd pro

and his ptz are wired as in this picture

he keeps having problems with the keyboard controller as when he puts a joystick imput in it keeps moving and when you put an opposite movement in it keepg going the other way and so on

i wondered if the rs485 was wired ok

we are using the dvr for now to controll the ptz

will be getting a keyboard soon

is there a setting on the dvr for terminating?

thanks

hi

just got the domes today

they are the qvis G3-S27-N DOME-G3S27

on the house we are using 2 ptz's

just been looking and the termination is on a jumper and is off

shall i turn the furthest away from the dvr to on

not sure how we are going to wire them yet daisey chain or star

in the instruction it shows a diagram daisy chain 1st terminated and last terminated

how do we go on with the 2 ptz's

thanks

thanks for the info

i have an rca adaptor but not where i am at the moment

ill have to go to a friends house to see if he has one

thanks again

hi

just got new cameras and dvr's today and im setting them up on the bench before i install them

ive set the apollo hd dvr to my tv with an hdmi cable and i have no picture

the red light is on the dvr all the time

do i have to connect to a monitor to change the settings to hd?

cheers

hi Numb-nuts

what do you meen by a star pattern?

thanks for your help

hi

what is the correct way to rs485 connect 2 ptz cameras in a daisy chain

have drawn 2 pictures to save on typing

i got told to wire as in first picture but he never said why

thanks

just got some m4 tek screws with philips head on them

ill have to go through the sheeting into some wood

there is 12mm steel on one side at the top but 2 or 3mm on the rest of the other sides

so should be ok

they are only small domes

thanks

hi

any sugestions on how to fix cameras to corrugated sheeting

where the cameras are going there is a 12mm thick steel girder

my plan was to put 2 tek screws through the camera bracket into the steel girder (see picture below)

only problem is the camera bracket holes are not big enough (4mm hole)

i dont want to drill out the bracket for warrenty reasons

the other idea was to put a block of wood inside and use wood screws through the bracket into the wood

any other ideas?

thanks

i saw the 2 part in grax 17p each

and wasnt sure to get 2 or 3 part ones

i tryed a camera out the other day and used 2 twist on bnc conectors

they were hard work

it was a pain getting the center to conect first time

2 or 3 attemps to get it right

it was just tempory until my crimp tool arives

thanks

hi

whats best the bnc conectors

the one with the center that comes out and needs to crimped or just the ones that have the center fixed

cheers

hi

thanks tom

i need one for next week

are they in the uk at £29 and if so do you know where i can get on of those ones from

cheers

will these definatly not work on uhf band

cheers

got some like this

http://www.discount-electrical.co.uk/product.php/19722447/ac4c-white-4-core-low-voltage-alarm-cable-100m-reel

it looks thin ,is it best to double it up

how long in meters can i run 12v power with this 4 core alarm cable

doubled up

and whats the max i can run shotgun cable 12v power

can i use the alarm cable for ptz rs485?

cheers

hi tom

do you know what will be a good way to sent dvr out to new tv's

if the tv still has the uhf 21 to 69 band

will i have to have the analog modulator down stairs then put in the areal in then back out to the tv

cheers

hi

going to get one of these

http://www.maplin.co.uk/programmable-universal-modulator-33050

to send cctv cameras to all tv's in the house

never used one before

and also need to know before i buy one, wheather the apollo hd 4 and 8 channel (slim one's) can work with the hdmi output and also the bga output at the same time(conect hd tv to dvr and have bga out to other tv's)

do i wire as follows

bga out from dvr to a bga to phono adaptor on the other end of cable

' then into the rf modulator labled video

then unplug the rf out 2 cable from my tv upstairs (coming from sky box)

and plug it into the rf modulator (ant in)( on this maplin one)

and then from the rf modulator socket that says (to tv)(maplin one)

back into my tv

hope this makes sense

thanks

thanks

i can get alarm cable from city electrical

so will use that

can i use the alarm cable for the rs485 to the ptz's

cheers
