Well, I found the problem.  My guy had left about a 20' service loop
at each camera.  I cut out the service loop and they all started
working.  Wow!  Talk about sensitive.  Geez.  Well...  I guess its
time to look at some other cameras.  At the price of Pelco you would
think they would be bullet proof.
