I bought a few Pelco DD4 cameras to install at my house. I have not been able to test a single one and would appreciate insight from someone with experience.

Here’s what I have done already;

Tried a Cat5 and Cat6 cable and separated the brown and white/browns cables from it and connected the white brown and the brown to a 24VDC power supply. I connected the BNC to BNC/RCA and feed that to a monitor, also tried BNC connector directly to a monitor. I have not been able to power the camera. I have a few axis cameras and getting those up and running through PoE is a piece of cake but I have been stuck hitting my head against the wall with these Pelcos. Also, if I ever get these up and running, what will be the best way to get the PTZ function up and running. Do I need to connect them to the keyboard K3000 if I’m not mistaken with a joystick, or is there any software I can install and feed all th3 cameras to a simple hub or switch and get into the cameras and utilize the PTZ function that way? Thank you in advance and any insight would be greatly appreciated.
