It may help, though it's not going to help the video latency part. These are dedicated controllers that will not be slowed down by the VMS.
#PTZ IP CAMERA HOW TO#
Suggestions to how to control manually the PTZ the best way would be much appreciated! Any joystick movement brings the camera too far and it has to be gentle, soft joystick movements for anything other than zoom in or out. So far no smooth ways to move the camera.
#PTZ IP CAMERA DRIVER#
Windoze says the driver is installed and the Joystick calibrated. One would move the stick and the camera would move slowly and continue to move although you're no longer moving the stick. Control through joystick is almost a crapshoot. Panning, Tilting and Zooming were smooth and did not require any special thought process. Well they do but not the way we have been used with RS485 joysticks! With the old analog standard you move the joystick and the cameras simply fololowed. We though that a good Game Joystick would provide all the control our customers needed. We went with a PTZ with good PQ and all the bells and whistles. We recently were faced with an application that required PTZ. We preferred multi-imager and in our customers applications the results were good. We never had to use or propose PTZ cameras.

I've read about but never cared to investigate more (big, stupid, mistake) about the best way to control an IP PTZ camera.
