Hi, I'm just getting into CCTV having done a couple of very basic installs in shops.
Where I've set up the camera so far I've used my iphone to remotely view the camera and access the OSD display using the buttons/joystick on the camera itself.
I understand this can be done directly from suitable DVR's when connected to suitable camera via the RS485, but of course that means extra wires.
I've seen that sone DVR/Camera combos can control PTZ over the coax (what is this system called?), so I was wondering if the OSD menu can be controlled in the same way? If so, can anyone direct me to DVR/camera models?
