nintenbo Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 what ptz is it (make) vcl dome etc, or a molynx ptz motor? hi yes a VCL its a VC8E part of the orbitor range i think, product code is VC8E-OIN/MC hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satsuma01 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 hi yes a VCL its a VC8E part of the orbitor range i think, product code is VC8E-OIN/MC hope this helps i think with vcl they hae either a electronics board for rs483 or for up the coax telem, but as im not a user of vcl, the best place for advice i would think was tech support from vcl themselves. hope this helps. i know dvrs like DM can control these domes as i ve seen it done but you have to have the correct software, saying hat though some vcl domes have pelco setting programmed in, i know i had a dome tha run on pelco colin "If you carry your childhood with you, you never become old.

morph Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 More likely to have RS 485 and up the coax, with Pelco P & D, will depend on the age as to what spec it is. Vcl was purchased by Honeywell several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJF Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Going off topic slightly, Honeywell's tech support telephone number is premium rate. Just found out when my last bill came in. Top tip: if you ever catch fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because i bet thats what REALLY throws you into a panic and dont forget the one thing you cant recycle is wasted time.
