PTZ Controls

PTZ Controls v0.15.4

I seem to be having an issue with either my system or the hardware. I try to add a VISCA camera and it crashes the OBS System. I installed the latest version and it still crashes. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have tried using another PTZ controller app and and my CISCO Tandberg TTC8-02 does not respond. I order a remote to see if it will control the PTZ. Any help would be appreciated.
Works great on macOS. The docking pannel is very useful, minimalistic and works great. I use the plugin with a XBOX joystick controller with Bluetooth. Joystick movements are fluid. I can use it to control several PTZ cameras, the "deadzone" is a useful addition preventing the camera to drift.
Infelizmente o plug-in se limita ao OBS 28 e se atualizo perde a funcionalidade. Alguém conhece outro? Caso eu consiga contgrolar a câmera fora do OBS eu faço a transmissão direto do Youtube mesmo.
was working excellently then i decided to update obs like an idiot from 20s to 32
O plugin é muito bom, porem depois que o OBS atualizou a versao o plugin parou de funcionar, para resolver o problema estou usando a versao 28.0.1 do OBS com a ultima atualização do plugin, porem nao posso atualizar o OBS,caso atualize o OBS o plugin crasha e fecha o OBS
I must be missing something because this plugin does not work properly. I have 10 scenes. Each scene has my PTZ camera in it as a source, and each scene needs to go to a specific preset. My presets I make within PTZ Controller don't save. After changing scenes, my presets get merged together so sometimes Preset 1 and Preset 2 become the same preset instead of different presets like I saved them. Someone help please? This is mission critical for my work.
Great plugin! I love that you can link a camera to a source in OBS. One thing I would like is the ability to bind other inputs to zoom, etc. Currently, I have a high-end Apem controller that is night and day compared to a basic Xbox controller. Unfortunately, I cannot use it since the zoom on this controller is set up for the Z-axis rather than the 'right thumbstick.' Is there any way this could be tweaked to work differently? please reach out if I can provide any more info that could help in the process!
I can’t think of any other way I can manage our setup with 4 ptz cameras without this plugin. Only reason for less than a five rating is because currently VISCA serial is not working with two HuddleCam HD connected via usb in OBS 29 and above. Had to downgrade to OBS 28.1.1 because this plugin is important for me.
Just excellent. Rely on it all the time.

One question. Is there a way to rename the devices so I can tell which one is which (we have four that I'm controllinng through it !)
This is a great plugin which works exactly as expected. Thank you!
I love this plug-in! Works great with one of my IP cameras. I have another PTZ camera (Roc20 by Rocware) that connects only with USB. The camera responds if I go to the source, properties, configure video, camera control within OBS.. I have not been successful configuring it with this plugin so wondering if it is even possible?

Thanks for the review. I'm glad it's working for you.

Most USB cameras use the UVC protocol for PTZ control. The plugin doesn't support UVC yet, but it is something I want to add.
Thanks so much for this resource. It's really sensational.

I need a feature to slow down "PAN/TILT" for right side and left side of PTZ NEIOD camera (VISCA)

Thanks for the review.
If you go into the settings dialog, you should find a "Pan/Tilt Maximum Speed" slider which will limit how fast the camera moves.
***The speed slider has been removed entirely and the speed of movements starts small, and ramps up the longer the button is held down. This behaviour appears to be more user-friendly, but I would like to have feedback on how it is working.***
Review: The intention was good. However, I liked the previous speed control better. It seems more practical to me. Perhaps it would be interesting to leave both options available, to be chosen in the settings.

***The other big change is in how a PTZ device is associated with an OBS source. ***
Review: This is great! Excelent idea.

Thanks for the review.

The speed slider has been added back in another form. In the settings dialog there is a per-camera setting on the maximum Pan/Tilt, Zoom and Focus speeds. You can use that to limit the maximum speed that a camera will move. I'm still working on improving the UI, but I hope that will be a functional first step.
Everything fine now. Thanks for sharing. Great Plugin

Thanks for the review. Glad it is working for you.
My most important OBS plugin. Working great with RGBlink PTZ network cams. Unfortunately not compatible with OBS 28 yet. Pre5 crashing OBS. ..M1/M1Pro Mac, Ventura/Monterey.

Please try the -rc3 release and let me know how it works. It should now be properly signed for running on a Mac.

https://github.com/glikely/obs-ptz/releases/tag/v0.12.0-rc3
Macbook Air M1 2020
MacOS Monterey (12.4)

I had to use v0.10.2 to get the PTZ controls to show up. Great product! Do you have any plans to add joystick or controller functionality? That would be awesome, as I like to control my cameras through an XBox controller.

Thanks!

Are you using OBS Studio v27 or v28? Plug-in version v0.10.2 and lower only work with v27. The v0.12.0 versions only work with v28
It's not working for MAC.
Pre5, the version in which USB was released, simply does not appear in OBS after installation.
IOS Monterey Macbook AIR 2017.
Before USB charged
This has been a very useful plugin. Thank you so much for sharing it! We use it weekly in our church services.

Thanks @DennisAllen. I'm glad to hear it is working well for you.
I'm not sure where the problem lies but I think it is with this plugin. OBS minimizes and you can't open it and when you open OBS again it says the program is already running and asks if you want to launch it again. OBS appears in the minimized tray and then disappears and you can only close it by going into the task manager tray. Otherwise its a great plugin. Wish instructions for connecting an NDI camera clearer.

Thanks for the feedback @pastorb633. I haven't encountered that problem before. Can you file an issue report on the GitHub page, and attach a copy of the OBS log file? https://github.com/glikely/obs-ptz/issues
Really nice and FREE plugin! I was able to control my old two Sony cams with Visca over serial protocol, right inside OBS without needing any external software. There's room to improvements of course, but really nice work indeed.
