• Telemetry Controller and its child devices PTZ device and Control panel, if the connected PTZ device is designed for a particular camera.
• Control device, if the device is integrated into the Intellect 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 Monitor or create a custom Operator query panel object.

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

Interface object configuration procedure

You can use the following interface objects for controlling PTZ devices:

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

See Configuring the Monitor for telemetry control, Creating and configuring the Operator query panel for telemetry control, Telemetry control panel configuration.

Additional settings

PTZ control priorities

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

1. Video 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.

Tracking of moving objects features

If necessary, you can set up the camera tracking function for an object that moves in a certain way on the video image. You can do it using the following guides:

1. Configuring functions for tracking moving objects.
2. Patrolling configuration.
