Pan/Tilt/Zoom Activation and
Set Up
Cameras with pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control are
fully supported. This feature must be enabled
and properly set up.
TechTips: Beginning with V2.2, eight different PTZ
protocols are supported through COM ports 1 - 8
(different protocol for each port).
V2.3 remote stations can control PTZ cameras from
V2.1, V2.2, and V2.3 NetVision Video Servers.
Locator: At the Video Server PC (will
prompt for "Supervisor" login),
Select: (Windows task bar) Start, Settings,
Control Panel, DSR Configuration.
Desktop Link: There should also be a link to this on
your desktop called "NetVision Configuration".
Tips: If you cannot access the Windows task bar,
press Ctrl-Esc (or your 'Windows' key). To view the
names for items on the task bar, click a blank area on
the bar, and then 'hover' your mouse pointer over each
item.
Logon as a "Supervisor" when prompted.
Then, double-click PTZ Configuration. When
the screen appears, make your desired
selection(s):
Steps
: • Click [Show Details]; • Select a
port; • Set the model and communications
parameters; • Click [Apply].
Tip: After [Apply]-ing settings for all needed ports,
click [Camera Table] to set the camera/port
assignments.
--------------------------------------------------
Enable PTZ: Select this ( 9 ) to allow
pan/tilt/zoom control for cameras that support
this feature.
Com Port: Select the serial (COM) port on the
Video Server being used for PTZ camera
control.
Model: Select your desired PTZ protocol here
(must be different protocol for each port used).
Baud Rate, Data, Parity, Stop, and Flow
Control: These are serial communications
parameters that MUST be set to match the
requirements of the PTZ camera (refer to the
camera documentation, and/or:
Look Here: 25.2.4 PTZ Model Reference).
[Show / Hide Details]: Opens the bottom
portion of the screen showing the settings that
have been applied for each port.
[Camera Table]: This opens a screen that
allows setting the COM port associated with
each PTZ camera, and identifying cameras
within the PTZ sequence. (When finished,
click [OK].)
Camera ID: This pertains to the camera's OSRD /
receiver-driver ID setting in the hardware (where
applicable), or it's PTZ sequence number for the
specific port (xth camera).
