    hi again

    my friend who has the camera set up asked me today if i could set his system up to his network where the cameras are

    and view the cameras from home (not controll them just view)

    i have watched a couple of youtube vids on how to do this

     

    but would like to know ho his setup will have to be

    if he only has the Rs485 into the keyboard controller and not in the dvr

    would he still be able to view his cameras from home and not control them

     

    and is it just a matter of inserting the ethernet cable into the dvr

    then following the youtube video setups

    cheers

    hi

    this setup is my friends and are already fitted

    they are on his building

    he paid £3000 for it all inc instalation

     

    the wiring between cam 1 and 2 must be correct as it

    has been working fine up untill a few months ago when they had a power cut and both of the ptz cameras stoped working

    and someone pulled the RS485 wires out off the joypad keyboard

    so i am trying to get them working again

    i got 1 camera working just not the other one

    i figured out the RS485 wires in the joypad and put the correct address e.c.t into the joypad but never rebooted the cameras

    will let you know how i get on on saturday

    thanks for your help

     

    cheers

    hi cctvmann

    there are 2 ptz cameras not sure what make

    1 works perfect so the RS485 + and - must be ok

    no i didnt reboot the cameras after programing the keyboard

    and yes i changed the keyboard to 002 camera 2 then back to camera 1 which works ok

    does camera 2 need to be into the dvr in no 2

     

    im back there sat so i wil reboot before i try anything els

    do i just switch the 12v power to the cameras off and then on again? and does the + and - have power going through it?

     

    also 1 last question if you dont mind

    im very interested in getting to know how to do new stuf

    but im a very slow leaner at some things

     

    can you tell me if im right on how it all conects together

    as i might get a camera setup for my self

    first if i get just a dvr and 2 ptz cameras

    the 2 cameras have 12v power to them then coax cable and 2 wires to them in a daisy chain for the rS485 to the dvr

    and on the back of the dvr the coax cables, 2 RS485 wires and power for the dvr

    then in goes the monitor or tv

    and the cameras have dip switches which can be changed to change the address and protocol and board rate

    which then must be matched in the dvr settings for ptz camera 1 and 2

     

    and then if using a keyboard the RS485 can just go into that and then input the camera settings into that

     

     

    cheers

    Thankyou very much for you reply

     

    would you know what would be the cause of one of the 2 ptz cameras to not move with the joypad keyboard and have the settings (protocol board rate address)on that camera screen (it works just wont move and has info on the screen)

     

    camera 1 was set and stored in keyboard controller as 001 address board rate 4800

    and protocol pelco D

     

    and camera 2 was 002 address 4800 and pelco D

    but camera 002 wont move when selected in the joypad

    cheers

    hi

    im new to cctv yesterday (but did lots of reading last night about entering protocol settings and board rate and adress e.c.t

    a friend of mine has an apollo lite 8 and a keyboard joypad controller

    this on below

    http://cnfulicom.en.made-in-china.com/product/moqEbQRUJKVM/China-PTZ-Keyboard-Controller-FC-KB802B-.html

    there are 4 cameras 2 are ptz ones 001 and 002

    all 4 cameras show the display outside perfect

    but 1 of the ptz cameras 002 doesnt move with the keyboard controller

    and on the display monitor it has lots of writing on the screen

    like the protocol adress and board rate e.c.t

     

    the ptz camera has displayed this since they had a power cut

    and to make things worse the wires fron the keyboard controller got riped out

    i read about the RS485 and got the info that it uses 2 wires to the RS485 + and - on the keyboard controller

    there were 3 wires that had the coating stripped off yellow blue and white

    i got the 001 camera to work by conecting the blue and yellow and left the white wire out

    (not sure if it has to do with the problem with the 002 camera not moving)

     

    i have read about inputing the protocol settings and adress and board rate e.c.t

    and managed to get 001 camera working ok but not 002

     

    any help please
