Control of an analog PTZ camera via the Internet. Is it possible?

Question

CCTV

There is a dome rotary analog camera with two outputs for PTZ (as I understand it), power and a BNS connector for the image. It is problematic to use it, because. the cable to those places where it needs to be pulled is very expensive and problematic. Maybe someone knows what converters are there to convert an analog to a digital signal and so that you can immediately control the camera through this device. And all this is desirable through the Internet. In the search, I broke my head how trite to ask a question ...

It is better to take a board, since the case is still unusable - if you need IP64 protection, you will have to put the board and power supply into another case.

Answer 2

Ordinary DVR.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, I don't know the model of the camera yet. No markings on board. There is no time to poke around, so I decided to start to find out if it makes sense. It will be difficult to install a recorder on a chimney :) but a handkerchief is already easier, the only thing is how to control the camera. I'll look for the same with an interface for controlling the camera. And next week I'll try to disassemble the camera, maybe where inside there will be information about the manufacturer.

Answer 4

Yes, in fact, the model of the camera is not important. As answered above, you need any DVR with support for analog cameras and RS485 on board.

Answer 5

As an option - find the encoder beward b1001. Makes from analog to IP and ptz control is
