I could be wrong but as far as I remember if you have no info during boot-up you have no OSD as well (old vcl cam)

o yes i can see you in the city center on my camera. nice blouse and skirt.

Despite the JVC and Honeywell/VCL being the same protocol (I am assuming), this does not mean they use the same commands to access the menu, etc. Only certain commands are standard such as the control and zoom.

It just means the command programmed for the menu button is not the one for the VCL but you still can bring up the camera menu by using the standard commands, you just need to know the code and sequence. For example, you may enter 84 and go preset to bring up the menu. The JVC would have a similar command but the string is already programmed behind the menu button.

ok thanks for the reply i think your right im on the right path i will have a bash nice one thank you again for you info have a good weekend
