I am trying to put together a plan to replace some Panasonic DVR’s. The problem is that they are using the CU-650 joystick controller. I believe that the signal is through the coaxial cable similar to Pelco coaxitron.
With Pelco’s version of this protocol, we were able to simply add a translator unit to maintain coaxitron to the cameras and 485 to the translator. Problem solved.
Does anyone have experience with Panasonic and know if they have a similar product (translator)... or if a 3rd party offers something like this?
We only need to limp the PTZ'z along until they are replaced with IP cameras (within a year).
Cheers!
