Lilin PIH-7000PF PTZ Dome Camera Protocol

Post by karimba »

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is using some type of Lilin PTZ dome cameras successfully with ZM 1.24.2.

Seems the control is their own mlp2.

Cheers

Sorted :D
Seems it uses version 1 of the Merit Li-lin protocol which is only 3 bytes long.
I'm working on a script for it now.

Nice chap at lilin uk set me on the right path.

cheers

Here's my control script for the Merit Lilin ptz cameras, it's their V1 protocol which i believe is fairly old.
It has basic control, left - right, up - down, focus, zoom, White balance etc.

Hi man, if you still have this protocol description lying anywhere, that would be awesome.

I don't even need the script or code, just the ICD or some docs.

Thanks!

Hi,

I managed to get the document from the original producer. If anyone would need it, please contact me over this forum. Seems i can not upload the file.
The protocol is 3 byte MLP1.

Example for moving pan on ID1.
0x010181

Camera is PIH-7000/7600 Rs485
Tricky to get it running, specialy because the addresing of the camera microswitches is just stupid.
1 and 8 need to be ON to be on address 1

This was the main problem for me after i got the docs...

Hi
I have an old pih-7625T lilin ptz camera and I tried to set it pelco d protocol instead of it's mlp1 protocol.
I had many success and now it works very well with northern keyboard based on pelco d protocol. But I have aother problem with activating human tracking ability. in it's manual there is a simple sentence about activation but I didn't find any clue to activate human tracking.
Could you please tell me has your camera the same ability? and any solutions about activation?
The sentence in manual: (user can setup the schedule to active the auto tracking function once a
day)
Thanks alot
