Baud rate selection.
|
The Vicon PTZ unit will automatically detect the baud rate (4800, 9600 or 19200 baud) when it receives commands. Some commands may be require before the baud rate is detected and synchronized.
|
Selection of "Use extended commands".
|
Some new Vicon PTZ units may support extended PTZ commands. Select "Use extended commands" if this is supported by the PTZ unit. Without "Use extended commands", only 10 preset positions are supported.

Description |
Range |
Move speed |
The current maximum pan and tilt speed.
|
1-100 |
Pan move time per degree |
Panning 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be re calibrated. Calibration is done by requesting a 360 deg. pan (i.e. "rpan=360") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 360 degrees. If pan speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(pan speed). |
1-500000 |
Tilt move time per degree |
Tilting 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be re calibrated. Calibration is done by requesting a 90 deg. tilt (i.e. "rtilt=90") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 90 degrees. If tilt speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(tilt speed). |
1-500000 |
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 (e.g. zoom wide) takes you to the other. |
1-65535 |
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 |
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 |
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). |
