PTZ control config options (inadequate)
Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 9:07 pm
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:
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.
