Security Camera Showroom Come Visit our Security Camera showroom in Naperville, IL
I have no control of the camera using VDR-S_AV_RT4/100.0.0.359 The factory defaults for the camera are - Protcol: Factory, Address:006 Comm: 2400,N,8,1.The dome settings under the CAMERAS menu has setting for the Address (set at 6), Port (set for COM1) and Protocol (there are 3 PELCO "D" settings, I tried them all). I also tried configuring COM1 in device manager to match the camera.

Once again, thanks for the quick response.
I had the correct wiring, though I hadn't saved the configuration. My problem, it turns out, was my serial port. My motherboard had a serial header but no cable. So I used one that was laying around. Turns out, there are two serial/header pinouts and I was using the wrong type of cable. After rewiring the serial connector everything worked. If anyone else thinks they might have this problem, google "serial loopback test" or check your port with a known "good" device.
Thanks for your help.
Glad you got it working!
