If a PTZ camera is connected to ibaCapture, this can be controlled by output signals of ibaPDA.
A prerequisite is:
-
ibaPDA version 6.31 or higher
-
Controlling the PTZ cameras with ibaPDA needs to be permitted in ibaCapture.
The output signals for controlling the camera are configured in the I/O Manager of ibaPDA. Add an ibaCapture module in the I/O Manager and select the Outputs tab.
Analog tab
In the Analog tab, 4 signals appear for each configured camera. Using the expression builder, you can assign values to the signals.
-
Pan value, tilt value, zoom value: absolute pan, tilt and zoom values of the camera position
-
Preset position index: using an index, a position from the configured presets can be set.
The indices for the presets are counted upwards in the order in which they have been configured. The counting method for cameras working on the basis of the ONVIF standard differs from that for cameras using the VAPIX log, see the following table:
|
