Feel free to make changes and post them here. The Wanscam PTZ camera is limited in the commands it will receive but I have Pan/Tilt/Zoom working. Right now you have to keep clicking the PTZ buttons to make it PTZ in small amounts. I have some ideas to get P/T to move for longer periods of time but I dont think I can get zoom to do the same. Its only a 3x zoom so after a few clicks your at the extremes with the zoom anyway. You have all 16 presets that can be called and set from ZM.
Camera now can move relative and diagonally. I've corrected the movements so they move the right way. I'm unable to get auto stop to work at the moment so you will have to stop manually if doing a continuous pan or tilt.
Here is how to setup ZM for the camera.

You can change this in the Wanscam.pm file to fit your camera setup.
An example on how to get the camera to move to a preset location from the command line or script.
Code: Select all
zmcontrol.pl --id 23 --command=presetGoto1Here is a list of commands for the camera from the cameras webpage. Some commands are oppssite in what they do like the TZ_LEFT_UP. You use the numbers in the URL to control the camera. Example = http://YOURcameraIP/decoder_control.cgi?command=0 to tilt the camera down. Some commands dont work since the camera does not have that feature. All stop commands are the same as far as I can tell. You can use 1 to stop movement of any control. I think the file comments explain how the set presets work.

There are some issues with the file. An example is that you can click on the image to diagonally move but the controls are reversed and continous. I've gotten the camera to work well with what I use it for so I'm not really motivated at the moment to get all capibilities working correctly. So dont expect any updates anytime soon.
