ricksi 0 Posted April 30, 2010 I have several WV-CS854 cameras and have been running all but one in the Pelco-P protocol by setting the 6 position dipswitch. They all work fine except for one that I cannot get to change protocols. The manual has a 3 step process to reset, select comm settings, and assign the unit ID but that doesn't help. When the others startup and display the boot message, the subaddress is ----P, but on this one it's all dashes. Anyone have any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daled 0 Posted July 20, 2011 Ricksi, I'm having the exact same problem with two different CS854 cameras. I followed the 3 step reset/setup directions given to me by Panasonic support and cannot get the cameras to go into Pelco mode either. I can get them to go into Panasonic mode and can talk to them from my computer over the RS485 interface in Panasonic mode using a test program. Did you ever figure out how to get your camera to enter Pelco mode? UPDATE: I escellated a ticket with Panasonic Support. They researched the issue and reported to me that ONLY WV-CS854A or WV-CS854B cameras support Pelco mode. If the camera model number does not have the A or B designation, you will not be able to put it into Pelco mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickymok 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Why do you use Panasonic WV-CU161 to control the camera? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daled 0 Posted August 9, 2012 Why do you use Panasonic WV-CU161 to control the camera? Did you mean why "don't" you....I wanted to control the cameras from computer software...and did not have an extra CU161. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
