Pelco Spectra IV SD4CBW23 Will this dome accept 35x Hitachi?

Will the Pelco Spectra IV SD4CBW23 accept the 35x module without modification? (Making it the same as a SD4CBW35)

 

I believe the 23x and 35x are almost identical so I would imagine the board should recognise it.

And what about the Sony Modules like the FCB-EX480 etc...

 

Can the Spectra IIIs or Spectra IVs accept upgraded modules - like swapping the FCB-EX480 18x for a FCB-EX780 25x or even the FCB-EX1010 36x

Not without modification, no. They sell the complete dome drive assembly, not the zoom mod.

Many Spectra dome drives can interchange camera heads. Some would require a firmware change, though. Check with Time Lapse supply (http://www.timelapsesupply.com).

I once read that speed dome firmware upgrades can be achieved through the RS485 cable.

 

It certainly made me curious...?

 

But beyond that I did not pursue the problem.

Spectra domes require changing the firmware ROM.
