Dedicated micros software will control all pelco formats, but you would
also need the dedicated micros DVR to go with it. Most camera's take 232
or rs485 protocols, but you would need to figure out the commands(binary
version of up, down etc.). But i have seen it done with just an I/O card
and a pc. But there may be a solution i dont know of. We always use cctv
head end equipment, so i wouldnt really be 100% sure if you could with
your pc how you describe it.
