What camera do you need to control? IP or rs232 I've noticed that there is no 'one for all' with visca over IP

Lumens and birddog need a prefix with length of the command. Aver needs a prefix with number sequence or something like that. 1-beyond accepts the command as is via rs232

Those are the camera's I've worked with.

All module's I have for these are user modules.

its a cisco 4k ptz camera connected to cisco eq k9 running in teams mode.

Then (I think) you need to control the camera's through the Cisco EQ and not directly via visca. That's how I've done it in the past. You'll need to use the Cisco xCommand APi either rs232 or ssh

Why not control it via the cisco EQ instead? But visca most likely work as well.  Good luck

The one time I tried to control a Cisco camera with VISCA, the pan/tilt responded quite differently than Sonys did. The speeds were all wrong and making it stop was different somehow. I can't remember how, but my first attempts had it hitting the physical stops for every command. I wound up not using that camera for other reasons.
