Something strange happening. I have tried two different splitters with the same outcome:
- the camera powers on and I can get a clear image.
- when it powers on, it goes through self test including up/down, left/right, zoom in/out. All fine
HOWEVER, I can't control the camera via PTZ once it has fully booted. I tried both via
BlueIris and direct IP. No luck.
It was working fine on another
CAT5/6 cable (including PTZ control) that I used for troubleshooting inside.
I don't think it is a power issue as the camera rotates and zooms properly during boot-up process.
I don't think it is an internal issue as the camera works properly while connected on a short cable inside.
I don't think it is a splitter issue as I have tried two and at least one of them was working fine on the short cable inside.
Could it be a damaged connector on the cable outside? Not sure how PTZ commands are transmitted to the camera?
Thanks for all ideas and help.
