Hello!
I bought on eBay a camera dome by Sanyo... on Internet I was able to find its technical spec and I noticed the camera has an RS485 interface. The protocol I should use to control the camera (and I'd like to implement on Arduino) is Sanyo Security Serial Protocol (SSP); I wasn't able to find a document describing it, do you have any informations / examples about it?
Thanks!
"Sanyo Serial protocol" give several hits, what is the device type? do you have a datasheet link?
Hi Rob,
the camera is sanyo vcc-9400p... I was able to find some fliers but no details about SSP protocol it uses: Sanyo confirmed me that it isn't available on their website and they provide the technical details only to "integrators".
Well I don't know anything about that protocol, but Google took me here where somebody is implementing a driver for it so presumably they know; it might be worth either contacting them, or seeing whether they have published their code anywhere accessible to you. Perhaps you could find other people working on it, too.
Peter, thanks but that project is about Sanyo VCRs: the protocol for those devices is much simpler (basically commands to START/STOP/EJECT...) and well documented on Sanyo datasheets.

Do you still need it ?
