Configuring PTZ devices in INTELLECT™

The number of PTZ devices connected to the Server is specified in the activation key bundled with INTELLECT™ distribution kit.  

Every PTZ device has the corresponding PTZ device system object in INTELLECT™. The PTZ device object is a child object to the Telemetry Controller object.

PTZ device configuration involves selection of the camera equipped with a PTZ device and setting PTZ MAC addresses.

Several PTZ devices are configured one after another.

To configure PTZ devices do the following:

1. Go to the Hardware tab in the setting panel of INTELLECT™ (1).

2. Create a PTZ device object under the Telemetry controller object or select the relevant object in the object tree in the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box (2).

   
   

3. Specify the ID, the name of the PTZ device object and select the Telemetry controller object to which the PTZ device is connected (3).

4. Select the ID of the camera equipped with a PTZ device (4).

5. Select the name of the camera equipped with a PTZ device (5).

   Note

   Specify either the video camera ID or its name.

6. If it is necessary to increase priority of the COM port specified in the settings of the Telemetry controller object, then set the Send commands to local port checkbox checked (6). This parameter is used when commands are sent not to COM port but to video capture card.

   Note.

   This setting is relevant when Stretch video capture cards are in use.

7. Specify the MAC address of the PTZ device in the Address field. The PTZ MAC address corresponds to the address set on the PTZ device with the help of jumpers or configured while programming the PTZ device in the the bundled software (7).

8. Select the zoom increment/decrement speed (zoom ratio) and focusing speed for the camera lens (8). Zoom ratio equals the selected value if zooming is performed in the Video Monitor. The parameter does not affect the digital zoom ratio.

   Selected value is used by default in case the speed was not set in any other way.

   Note.

   The digital zoom ratio can be set with the help of tweaki.exe utility – see The Settings panel of the Video subsystem section in Administrator's Guide.

9. In the Presets table set checkboxes checked next to the names of presets that are to be displayed on Telemetry control panel (see Telemetry control panel configuration section). Change the preset's name if necessary (9).

   Note

   In order to select all presets or cancel this operation, use the Select/Deselect checkbox.

10. To save the changes click the Apply button (10).
