Hi all,
Does anyone know of any components that I can use to connect to a CCTV camera to view the video and issue PTZ commands to the camera
Thanks in advance

It all depends on the CCTV system you are using. The documentation should come from the manufacturer. There are many different ways used by many different companies.
Hi Sue,
Any suggestion to a viewer component to use to view the video stream from the IP Camera

It is a long time since I worked with CCTV. I think the ones I interfaced to had their own viewers that I was able to use. These were big company interfaces and I dealt with the companies to get details.
Try googling your camera brand + RTSP + VLC
(a Pascal interface exists for the VLC API, you can embed VLC in your app)
Hi Grant,
Can’t say I can offer much help as several years ago, I wrote to Swann asking for operating and/or technical details of their IP cameras.
Their response was that they did not disclose that information on Security grounds. Thus making life hard for developers to access the equipment. Very disappointing.

Unless @Grant_Brown_CTC discloses a brand, I don’t think this thread goes anywhere
