Slowing the Movement of 1 Camera system?

HI there,

I was wondering if there is a way to slow down the speed of the changes in presets in the ptz control. We have a customer that has only 1 camera with a number of pre-sets but the transition is far too quick for them. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Check the documentation for your camera. You should be able to set the pan, tilt and zoom speed for the camera.
HI,

Unfortunately that isn't the case. I have been to the site and double checked and yes the speed can be controlled within the admin settings of the camera, but it doesn't let you set the pan/tilt speed to be saved and then when you use obs the settings are kept.

Here is how I implemented this with a PTZOptics camera. Check the camera documentation for http-cgi control capability. I used PTZOptics controller to find the camera’s pan, tilt and zoom data for the views I wanted and then coded them as shown below.

Not sure if your camera supports this.

From the camera documentation on http-cgi commands:

Direct Position Recall

http://[camera ip]/cgi-bin/ptzctrl.cgi?ptzcmd&[mode]&[pan speed]&[tilt speed]&[pan position]&[tilt position]

[Mode]: abs (Absolute position), rel (Relative position)
[Pan Speed]: 1 (Slowest) ~ 24 (Fastest)
[Tilt Speed]: 1 (Slowest) ~ 20 (Fastest)
[Pan Position]: 0001 ~ 0990 (pan right), FFFE ~ F670 (pan left), 0000 / FFFF (home position)
[Tilt Position]: 0001 ~ 0510 (tilt up), FFFE ~ FE51 (tilt down), 0000 / FFFF (home position)

Implementation (Browser source)

Pan-Tilt command

Zoom command
