Hello all,
I recently setup a Lorex DVR with 8+ cameras hooked up to it (not IP cameras). I know these systems are not 'pro grade' but I love this setup. 1080p video and 15fps from a standalone DVR.
The set came with the following PTZ camera:
http://www.amazon.com/Lorex-Technology-Analog-Switchable-LZV1722B/dp/B00NMELTCE
I LOVE this camera. Night-vision is amazing as is zoom / picture. The problem is, though PTZ works fine in the Lorex system and a downloadable desktop Lorex client, in Blue Iris, I only see video and cant control the PTZ.
BI uses the Lorex DVRs IP address and port # to view the various cameras and everything works great except for the PTZ movement.
As the cameras use BNC cable (video/power), I'm wondering if in BI I should be telling BI to use the 'serial' connection but not sure. I've tried using the Dahua PTZ setting and also the Lorex setting - but no movement.
It must be possible as the Lorex desktop app controls the PTZ fine from any location.
Anyone got any suggestions to try?
Thanks all.
