Many times it is nice to have an idea of what other copany's CCTV prtocols look like at the Hexidecimal level. This is a collection of what was available from using various compaies "Glass Keyboards" etc. Many time the actual keyboard is designed to permit interfacing to many diferent CCTV devices. Looking at what is generated when trying to control Pelco devides with D or P protocol makes some of this data unlikley to be 100 % correct.
