Review on Serial Communication Converter Adapter Mini Size by Marcus Hargrave

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great with PTZ cameras

Purchased to use with OBS Studio to control two FoMaKo PTZ cameras in our church. We've been using it as a RS485 serial adapter for a few months and haven't had any problems. This is an inexpensive solution: you can use your PC to control the camera instead of buying a special controller that is 10-20 times more expensive. The only thing that bothers me is that it sticks out quite a bit when connected to a computer. Consider adding a short serial cable between the PC and the adapter.

Pros
  • Supports a maximum connection distance of 4000ft (1200m)
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
