Autoiris / Autofocus
|
The driver's Autoiris/Autofocus functionality requires the unit's password to be set to 0000 (or 9999) in order to work. The 0000 (or 9999) password implies that the unit's advanced commands can be accessed without having to supply a password. After setting Autoiris/Autofocus, the driver locks the advanced commands.
- If a G3 model is used, pop-up messages and menus will show up in the picture for a while when using Autoiris/Autofocus functions.
- If a G4 model is used, no pop-up messages or menus will show up in the picture when using Autofocus/Autoiris functions.
Select which model that is used with the "Device Type" parameter below.

Auxiliary Commands
|
The auxiliary cgi-request accepts the following strings:
-
- version
- The same as auxiliary command "on_66". This will show the internal version information of the PTZ-unit in the display for about 5 seconds.
- on_n[_t]
- Activates auxiliary function n. Corresponds to the remote control's On button.
- off_n[_t]
- Deactivates auxiliary function n. Corresponds to the remote control's Off button.
- toggle_n
- Toggles auxiliary function n.
- latch_on_n
- latch_off_n
- Activates auxiliary function n until explicitly deactivated using latch_cancel.
- latch_cancel
- Deactivates auxiliary function activated using latch_on/off.
- set_n
- Sets preset position n. Corresponds to the remote control's Set button.
- show_n
- Show preset position n. Corresponds to the remote control's Show button.
where n is the auxiliary function (or argument) and t is an optional argument stating how long (in ms) the command should be repeated for. If the time argument is absent, the command is sent to the unit only once.
- Examples:
-
- on_40
- Resets the unit to the factory default settings. (Remote control: On-40-Enter)
- on_60/off_60
- Turns the on-screen display on/off. (Remote control: On/Off-60-Enter)
- on_90/off_90
- Locks/unlocks advanced commands. (Remote control: On/Off-90-Enter)
- set_110
- Re-calibrates the unit and returns it to the factory default home position. (Remote control: Set-110-Enter)
Some auxiliary commands bring up an on-screen-display menu.This menu can be navigated using the up/down/left/right buttons (or a joystick). An iris command usually returns from the menu. For a list of available auxiliary (remote control) commands, please see the manual for the PTZ-unit.

Zoom
|
The Philips/Bosch Autodome G3A has a 3.6 second delay at full optical zoom before activating the digital zoom (see the advanced parameter ZoomPerUnit below).
On the Philips/Bosch Autodome G3A and when using a low zoom speed, the continuous zoom often stops too soon after a zoom direction change.

Device ID |
This is the address of the connected device. When using a "G3" model, this value corresponds to the value of the address switches in the connected device. When using a "G4" model, this address of the connected device must be set using the On Screen Display menus. Please see the manual for the PTZ-unit for information on how to set this address. |

Extended Driver Specific Settings

Default values have been optimized for the Philips/Bosch Autodome G3A.
Parameter |
Description |
Range |
Move pan per degree |
The calibration constant for panning. Higher values give greater movements. Calibrate at the most commonly used speed, by adjusting the value until a 360 degree pan request (i.e. "rpan=360") pans 360 degrees exactly. |
1-3000 |
Move tilt per degree |
The calibration constant for tilting. Higher values give greater movements. Calibrate at the most commonly used speed, by adjusting the value until a 90 degree tilt request (i.e. "rpan=90") tilts 90 degrees exactly. |
1-3000 |
Zoom speed |
The current zoom speed. |
1-7 |
Zoom per unit |
The calibration constant for zooming. Higher values give greater zoom changes. Calibrate at the most commonly used zoom speed, by confirming that a maximum zoom request performs a maximum zoom.
NOTE: The Philips/Bosch Autodome G3A has a 3.6 second delay at full optical zoom before activating the digital zoom. This constant should thus not be set too low (i.e. ensure a "rzoom=9999" at full optical zoom activates the digital zoom). |
1-600 |
Focus time |
The calibration constant for focus changes (time in ms for maximum focus change). Higher values give greater focus changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum focus request (i.e "rfocus=9999") at one extreme (e.g. full focus far) takes you to the other. |
1-30000 |
Iris time |
The calibration constant for iris changes (time in ms for maximum iris change). Higher values give greater iris changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum iris request (i.e."riris=9999") at one extreme (e.g. full iris close) takes you to the other. |
1-30000 |
Current field angle |
The calibration constant for click-in-picture (center) movements. Higher values give greater movements. Calibrate at minimum zoom (i.e. zoom wide) and at the most commonly used speed, by making sure that clicking on an object brings the object to the center of the image. |
1-1800 |
Pan bar range |
The range (in degrees) to use with panbar requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will pan half this value in the corresponding direction. |
1-720 |
Tilt bar range |
The range (in degrees) to use with tiltbar requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will tilt half this value in the corresponding direction. |
1-720 |
Goto preset delay |
Time (in seconds) it takes for the image to stabilize it self, after the camera has performed the longest "goto preset action". Used for disabling/enabling image analysis (e.g. motion detection). |
