Photography has nothing to do with cameras.

A Pelco Camera

Overview

Hello, this is an Arduino library designed to control Pelco Cameras!

For now it can support PELCO-D protocol but I havn't got tested everything yet.

This library was made for the project: Controlling a cctv camera on Arduino on hacakday.io

Before you go on, this is a school, project, I'm still in school and learnings things so be kind if the libray is ugly. I would like to thanks my school and teachers for allowing me to work on this project.

The main goal of the project is to do a control table (It'll be on arduino.)

Anyway, here the table of contents:

Requirements

This is a bit obvious but you'll need a Pelco camera, the one I use the ES4036.

The important thing is to set the camera is RS485 biderectional and with the baud of your choosing. For now, the lib only support Pelco-D protocol.

About the modules for RS485, I'm working with a standart MAX485 chip but I'll test a more advanced module on the future (a seed-groove max485 module).

Tested on Arduino UNO and ESP32
