Question by Steven V: What is the general term for a remote controlled camera?
I’m look for the nomenclature or the general name for a remote controlled camera. The type of camera I’m talking about either has a joystick or in most cases a flat remote that controls the tilt, pan and zoom of the camera. I’ve seen a few people use them as their web cams. Every time I google “remote controlled camera” I get a lot of garbage. If you know the name of this type of setup or even better you have a link that would more than help me out. Thanks!

Question by travx27: how do i hook up my ADT security camera through my DVR comcast box?
I have recently purchased an ADT Pulse Alarm system. I have cameras with the system and I was wondering if there was a way to hook up the cameras to view them through my TV? On comcast, the last couple channels say “security camera” and I didn’t know if I would need special equipment or what in order for this to work, or if it was possible.
Thanks

Those are for bldgs that inject the bldg camera into the cable system so people can see the door from there apt. Unless your bldg is set up that way you shouldn’t even see those. It’s not something you can do at the box.
