PTZ control config options (inadequate)

[rakhbari]

In the Control Capabilities window I don't see any options to enter the specific URI command for the various camera PTZ movements. For example, my Toshiba IK-WB15A IP camera provides the following API for moving its PTZ controls:

Code: Select all

http://<camera_ip>/api/pantiltapi.cgi?cont_2=<value>[&id=<value>]

The value of cont_2 determines direction of movement as follows: 1 = Pan Left, 2 = Pan Right, 4 = Tilt Up, 8 = Tilt Down, 16 = Center, 32 = Scan, and 64 = Auto Patrol.

I don't see any place in the different tabs of the Control Capabilities dialog box that would allow me to enter a URI or these specific parameters for the different Pan/Tilt/Zoom actions. Is this just an oversight, or this feature hasn't been worked into ZM?

The options I do see are capability flags with ranges as (I think) integers. How does ZM know how to envoke these PTZ actions in the various cameras?

Thanks, and once again, ZM is a great utility.

You will find this process covered and well discribed in the README under the heading "Camera Control"

Oh, now I see. My apologies. I did not read that section very carefully. The "command" text entry box is for the control script, and it's in that control script where all the camera-specific commands are stored.

Thank you!

Hi Rakhbari

I was wondering if you ever created the command script for this camera and if so, would you be prepared to share it?

Thanks

Steve,

I have a version of this script for ZM v1.22.3. I don't see a file upload option here but if you give me your email address I'll send it to you.

rakhbari, Do you have any more control codes? , or point me in the direction to find them.

Thanks.

I'd much appreciate your script as I can't seem to get this to work. TIA

I would very much appreciate said script as well, as I am unable to get this to work...
