PTZ devices are used to expand the area of video surveillance by mechanical rotation of the video area by mechanically rotating a camera.

In Axxon PSIM, in order to you can control PTZ devices , it is necessary to configure by configuring system objects on the Hardware tab, as well as set setting up a suitable interface solution.

On the Hardware tab, the selection of objects depends on the connected physical devices:

• Telemetry Controller and its child devices PTZ device and , like the PTZ device and the Control panel, if the connected PTZ device is designed for a particular camera.
• Control device, if the a device is integrated into the Axxon PSIM using Drivers Pack and is a universal control device (see Drivers Pack documentation).

The Telemetry control panel is an interface object used for controlling PTZ devices. You can also control a PTZ camera using the Video Monitorsurveillance monitor or create a the custom Operator query panel object.

To physically control PTZ devices, you can use a keyboard , with a mouse and specialized devices — control devices—control panels and joysticks.

Pre-configuration

Before you start the configuration, it is necessary to do the followingFirst, you need to:

1. Physically connect PTZ devices and control panels to the Server server (see Connecting PTZ devices and control panels).
2. Connect and configure the Cameras cameras for which telemetry will be used (see Configuring video subsystem).

General PTZ configuration procedure in Axxon PSIM

1. Create and configure a the Telemetry Controller on the Hardware tab. Each type of PTZ devices device used for connection (for example, each COM port with a device) corresponds to a separate Telemetry Controller.
2. Create and configure a the PTZ device object, which is a the child object for the Controllercontroller. Each physical PTZ device corresponds to a the system object. Each PTZ device is interconnected with the Camera it is intended to controla camera for controlling. The number of PTZ devices connected to the Server server is stated in the license.
3. Create and configure a the Control panel object, which is a the child object for the Controllercontroller. It is designed for real-time quick control of PTZ devices. It connects is connected to a the separate COM or USB port.

4. Create and configure the Control panel within the second controller.

See Configuring control of PTZ IP camera using the control panel.

...

The Control device object is designed for configuring joysticks and universal devices integrated via the Drivers Pack. Using such a this device, you can control any PTZ cameras connected to the Serverserver. If you use the Control device, you do not don't need to configure the Telemetry Controller, it ; it is enough to create and configure the Control device on the Hardware tab.

See Configuring the Control device object.

Interface object configuration procedure

You To control PTZ, you can use the following interface objects for controlling PTZ devices:

1. Video Monitor windowsurveillance monitor panel, which displays a video from a the PTZ camera. In this case, you do not don't need to configure additional objects, it is enough to ; configure PTZ control in the Video Monitorvideo surveillance monitor.
2. Telemetry control panel is an interface the object designed specifically for PTZ control. It is created and configured You must create and configure it on the Interfaces tab.
3. The Operator query panel custom object is a unique control panel that will be is displayed in a separate window. It is developed by the manufacturer of the PTZ device vendor and is provided along with the software for the PTZ device. The files of unique control panels for of PTZ devices are stored in the program Program folder of the Axxon PSIM root folderinstallation directory. If you want to use a unique panel from the manufacturervendor, then it is necessary to create and configure the the Operator query panel object on the Hardware tab.

PTZ control priorities

After you configure PTZ, it is necessary to complete configuration, assign PTZ control priorities for the following objects:

1. Video Monitorsurveillance monitor;
2. Telemetry control panel;
3. Control panel.

This is necessary in order to organize the simultaneous use of PTZ devices by different users.

See Priorities of PTZ control.
