Controlling PTZ cameras with a joystick
:
The locally installed version of Observer is able to handle USB joysticks as input device from Java
VM 1.4 and newer (for information on how to install the application version locally please refer to
2.3 Working with the installed Observer client
on page 16).
The joystick can be used for panning, tilting the camera, while its buttons for zoom-in and zoom-
out operations (which button is used for which operation is assigned during calibration). The
joystick must be calibrated before use (found in the System Information menu, beside the
language change menu).
Please note:
In order for the joystick support to work the Java version (32-bit or 64-bit) installed
on the client PC has to match the system's processor architecture.
