We have three Marshall CV610-UB cameras that had worked OK for a couple years, responding to PTZ controls from either the remotes or OBS.
They stopped working from the remote after running for a few minutes on our Mac that had just been updated to Sonoma 14.1.1. A week or two earlier OBS updated to 30.0.0. We are using OBS with the github/glikely/obs-ptz-v0.15.4 plugin. The cameras are USB cameras, and they still output video. But the PTZ operation completely stopped on two (except when you turn them on, they home and then go to a fixed location). One camera is still controllable by OBS. The remotes cannot control any of the cameras. I tried three different remotes with fresh batteries. The cameras actually output a code (e.g. F7 08 BA for pan left on CAM 2) on both the DIN connector serial port and the USB "serial" port when the remote is set to talk to a different camera, so the cameras are still seeing the IR remote signal. They just don't respond to any command set for that camera. The remotes still seem to be able to set the cameras to different camera numbers. The cameras have been tried with Mac and also a couple Windows machines, and they now ignore the remote commands regardless of what they are hooked to. Factory Reset is only available from a menu run from the remote! Marshall technical support asked some questions, but could not come up with a way to reset them without them being sent in for repair (presumably at a cost). And if they brick again as soon as they are hooked to the Mac, one wonders if the repair option would just be a waste of time and money. On a PC with one of the cameras, I tried sending VISCA, Pelco-P, and Pelco-D commands over serial (both the DIN connector and USB "serial" port), to no avail. Nothing comes back on the serial ports. The only time I get anything out of the serial ports is when the remote is set to a different camera.
A redit post mentioned a problem with these cameras no longer working with the remote, and I was told that user gave up on the camera and got another.
Suggestions are appreciated.
I am consider changing to IP cameras (the serial port PTZ control with the Mac was annoying as the port number [cu.usbserial-nnnn]
often change on power up, so one has to fiddle with the OBS settings and usually restart OBS a few times to get things working).
