Al - You can select whether the stamp is on or off. It will stay in that mode until changed, turned on or off.It is a very nice camera considering it was built just before the HD cameras came out. The hard drive storage is really nice, tons of storage space and easy to transfer to your PC or laptop.

Hi Joshua, The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera. Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work. Cheers Rene

there are 2 cameras you can rotate seperately, most user uses both camera to point forward... but you can rotate the right camera independently to point at the rear.

David, on the back of the thing that says PTZ Dome Controller, find the green thing with 3 screws (out d+ d-) Pull that out. Unscrew the two screws to the left as you look down on it. The middle screw is your positive, the left screw is your negative. Hook solid strand wire in the screw holes. Tighten. Run your + and - to your PTZ camera. Match the controller to your camera. If your camera is #1, then use your RS 485 remote to call up camera #1 by pressing 1 cam. Do this for each ptz cam ie; If ptz cameras are numbered 1, 2, 5, 11, then the one you want to move must be matched with the RS 485 ie; 11 cam. If you want to set your #1 cam to your driveway, do this on the RS 485 remote. 1 cam, use arrows on remote to driveway, then press 1 set OK. Move camera off driveway, press 1 call. Then use 2 set, 3 set etc for front door, mail box etc. If you only have 1 ptz camera, it's easy. If you have more, write that stuff down. Also, match the dip switches on the front of the RS 485 with the baud rate and protocol of your ptz camera. This is found on the bottom of the RS 485. My PTZ cam baud rate is 2400, my dip switches on the front of the RS 485 is switch #3 is 0 #4 is 0. My protocol is Pelco D. My switch #1 is 0 #2 is 0. Sorry, I never said I could type. This should help.

Absolutely! I bought this camera back 2010 for a photography class I was taking and it worked out great for both automatic and manual shots. The camera will come set to be a point and shoot, but some simple setting changes in the menus will have you in manual mode in no time.

I am awaiting delivery of this camera. Am a complete novice and would like to learn the answer to this also. Am taking camera to India in Nov. and really need to get the "hang" of it ASAP. Thanks

I have used this camera with two different Qsee DVR's, both were QT series. I was looking at some newer models and noticed that several didn't have the RS485 port that is used to control the camera through the DVR's interface but this camera came with a separate controller with remote. As long as the DVR supports analog video, you should be ok. Hope the helps.

It's still a damn good camera. Their update to it is better quality but aimed at the professional market. 5 megapixel photos and its hd video setting should work just fine for you. I wouldn't pay more than $90 for it though. The problem with the c920 the other answerer mentioned is that it doesn't have motorized pan or tilt.

I have two cameras. You can set it up to automatically switch if you like or change it manually.

thanks Draven...but do you know if i can also hook up extra motion/trip sensors ? ...and does the cpu use pixel changes in camera images to detect motion that act like a trip sensor/alarm ?

I don't think this unit cycles between cameras. You have to manually select which camera you want to view.

my wife is a semi professional photographer. She swears by this camera for a point and shoot. She says to press the button down half way and it locks in. than when ready to take picture press down and it should be instant.

The CDR810 has the button slot for the GPS setting but it is not cut out. Cobra might be doing some cost-cutting by using one mold for both cameras; many companies do this with TVs/laptops/cars.

Power down camera, then power up again, observe the picture that comes up with the PTZ information. It should say Pelco-D or something similar you will get an address and a baud rate. These are the crucial parts, what you must do next, is configure your PTZ controller to those settings and it will be able to send commands to the camera. You must wire the telemetry wires a + and - into your controller as well.

Dont know but, put the DSLR on it, with extended zoom on it and it felt pretty safe to me. Took it on a cruise a month ago and it worked flawlessly. Use it for plane spotting a lot, works great while making videos. Its very sturdy, wide stance is great. Hope this helps!!
