Hi there,

As topic I'm after an old PTZ controller (preferably with a joystick) to contol a dennard PT head which works on 24v AC and has 5 wires, comon, left, right, up down.
I also need it to control a zoom lense which works on 12v DC

If anyone has one or knows where I can get one I would be very very greatfull.

I'm not after it for free, I am prepared to pay for it.

Many thanks,
Alex.

I am pretty sure these will only drive Sensormatic domes only and you would need a Sensormatic telemetry driver also.

The kind of controller I need is one that actually outputs 24vAC for each of the movements, I.E right, left.

As ian.cant has pointed out, if its a modern type that outputs a data signal then a telemetry box would be required and I don't need this as I actually have all the cores from the PTZ running back to where I want to place the control unit.

Thanks.

Why dont you get yourself off to maplins, buy a few switches, a 24v ac psu plus a box and make one. I dont think you likely to find someone with a spare lying around.

I have already thought of this as a posibility and I will IF I can't find anyone with one, I would prefer to get hold of one as I wan't one with a joystick rather than buttons.

Anoying thing is I chucked a couple of these out when I cleared my workshop out last year.

Hey Alexg,

I may have a couple of hard wired controllers in stock, but I won't be able to check until later this week. I'll let you know what I find before the weekend.

Many thanks,
Alex.

Alex,

I've quickly checked my records today, and apart from Joystick switches, components and boxes, I'm also showing at least three possibly four hardwired controllers. That's the good news; the bad news is I'm not around to physically locate the stock until the weekend.

As soon as I've located them, I'll PM you with the details.

for now,

D.J.

PS: I'm impressed by the fact you keep what you have in your workshop on record, I just sling old gear in my workshop

[Alexg]

DJ,

Do you also have 2 matching time lapse VCRS? I don't mind what make they are so long as they match.

Thanks, Alex.

[Doktor Jon]

[Alexg]

I'm impressed he calls it a workshop! Not sure what mine is, it's a building full of 'things'. 

Times were 'ard, when I wer't a lad; it wern't so much a workshop, as a rather cramped workroom; actcherly, it were more like a big box, a big shoe box, maybe size 7 ....

Without wishing to sound like a grumpy old g*t, it actually used to be quite good fun fiddling around with prehistoric CCTV equipment, particularly old tubed cameras and open reel time lapse video recorders (I started very young)

Considering I've just realised I've got shed loads of CCTV equipment sitting around doing absolutely nothing, maybe I should set up a market stall? Now there's a thought ....

PM on its way to you alexg., oh and the kettles in the corner, milks gone off and there's no biscuits, so just help yourself

[Alexg]

DJ,

You should list all that stuff up and sell it, should make a tidy sum

I got your PM, many many thanks for that, I've sent you an Email in reply.

I couldn't wait for the tea so I made myself some, just can't get the staff nowadays
