Operations

PTZ

This Operation allows to control a PTZ camera. It sets the pan/tilt angle, pan/tilt speed and zoom speed.

This Operation models continuous PTZ. Each call updates the current pan/tilt movement or zoom, depending on which Properties are set. To stop the current movement or zoom, an Operation with speed values of 0 is sent.

The adapter should be able to control pan/tilt movement and zoom independently. For example, if a pan/tilt movement is currently in progress and an Operation is received which only has zoom_speed set, the Operation should only update the zoom speed and not cancel the ongoing pan/tilt movement.

Properties

Name Type Description
pantilt_angle double (optional) The angle of the pan/tilt operation. If set, the adapter should adjust the angle of the current movement. The value range is [0, 360). A 0° angle points to the right, a 90° angle to the top, continuing counter-clockwise.
pantilt_speed double (optional) The speed of the pan/tilt operation. If set, the adapter should adjust the current pan/tilt speed. The value range is [0, 100]. 100 indicates the maximum possible pan/tilt speed of the device.
zoom_speed double (optional) The speed of zooming. If set, the adapter should adjust the current zoom speed. The value range is [-100, 100]. The values -100 and 100 indicate the maximum zooming speed of the device in the respective direction.
