I'm a total newb with Arduino, and want to control a VISCA camera from a CCTV surveilance system DVR. Need a lot of guidance and advice. At minimum I want to receive RS485 Pelco-D commands and control a Sony EVI-D30 using VISCA protocol over RS232 to the camera. I have serial cabling between my PC and the camera working with Sony's VISCA demo control program, so I've proven the communication and cabling to the camera works. Now I need help with the protocol conversion and the interfacing (MAX232 and MAX485?)
Much appreciate any help!
