I will be documenting and putting info about this camera here...

Image quality is great in ZM (Using a generic BTTV card)

PTZ controls are a no-go (Need to write the canon.pm for this)

Modetect works great with camera, no flicker or issues

Good show though, although cctv cameras will pretty much always work as they are standard based (NTCS, PAL, SECAM, etc...) so you only need a compatible capture card.

Yes, I figured this camera would be easy to capture from, because the BTTV support is already there and in place.. The main goal of this post is to design a protocol.pm for this camera (and any other Camera based on VC-3 / VC-4 control code)..

Canon also has a line of IP enabled cameras, but I dont have any of those in hand..
