Autofocus

Autofocus is activated on zoom changes and disabled on focus changes.

Autoiris

Autoiris is disabled on iris changes.

Continuous operations

An iris, autofocus or autoiris request temporarily disables any ongoing continuous operation.

Preset positions

To save a new preset position:
Enter the name of the new preset and click Add. The camera will then go to the previous position stored in the camera. Move the camera to the desired position and press add again (using the same name).

To update an existing preset position:
Go to the old position, move the camera to the desired new position and click Add (using the same name as the old position).

Basic Parameters


Parameter Description Range
Device ID The id of the PTZ unit. 1-64

Advanced Parameters


Parameter Description Range
Move pan per degree The calibration constant for panning. Higher values give larger 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 gives larger 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
Pan latency The calibration constant for pan latency (the time in milliseconds to start a pan movement). Increase if small pan requests (e.g. "rpan=45") produce too little movement, even if larger requests work correctly, otherwise reduce. 1-255
Tilt latency The calibration constant for tilt latency (the time in milliseconds to start a tilt movement). Increase if small tilt requests (e.g. "rtilt=12.5") produce too little movement, even if larger requests work correctly, otherwise reduce. 1-255
Zoom time The calibration constant for zoom (time in ms for maximum zoom change). Higher values give greater zoom changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum zoom request (i.e. "rzoom=9999") at one extreme (i.g. zoom wide) takes you to the other. 1-30000
Focus time The calibration constant for focus (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. focus near) takes you to the other. 1-30000
Iris time The calibration constant for iris (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). 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
