Incorporating Pelco PTZ's to Blue Iris

Are you using a Pelco PTZ now and is it hooked to a DVR or are you wanting to buy an analog LPR?
If you already have a DVR, you can probably connect it to BI by typing in the IP address of the DVR.
If you do not have one, find a cheap analog DVR with Pelco. A swann or nightowl would probably work. I suspect Amcrest would too.
It’s an old Pelco dx8000. Strictly analog with only email and remote server linking through the internet.
Before I “downgrade” and buy old tech I was trolling to see if someone shares my situation and has a working system and uses Coaxitron.
I counted on Pelco C when I ran the wires to the poles in my yard, and would like to avoid more ladder work without knowing Pelco D works as well with a particular DVR.

Isn't Coaxitron the same as "up the coax"? If so, most of the Swann and Nightowl DVRs will take an up the coax to move a PTZ. I am sure others work as well, but my neighbors have systems within the past 3 years that operate "up the coax" to an analog PTZ (albeit not a Pelco PTZ).
