Before we can answer the question, “How do I control my USB PTZ camera with a PC?” we need to first identify the type of USB PTZ camera we are using. Then, we need to determine which ports we will need to control. In this article, we will cover RS-485 communication, IR remote control, presets, and connecting to a local area network.

The VDO360 TeamCam is a desktop-mount PTZ conferencing camera with belt-driven pan and tilt functionality and near-instant 3x digital zoom with no resolution loss. The TeamCam has an 8MP sensor, which is technically a 4K sensor, and it produces sharp 1080p images even when zoomed in all the way. The 8MP sensor is also well-suited to low-light situations. A key feature of the TeamCam is its 90° field of view, which is free of fisheye distortion. The TeamCam also provides very quick and smooth switching between preset positions. To top it all off, it has a USB 2.0 output for quick and easy installation.

RS-485 communication

An RS-485 connection is required to control a USB PTZ camera with a PC. The communication is one way. A joystick will send commands to the camera, but cannot receive commands back. To connect two cameras, connect the adapter to the camera’s TX+ and TX-lines and plug it into the serial port connector on the back of the PC. Make sure to power the PC and connect the camera’s external power supply.

Once you have your PC and camera connected, configure the device. Make sure the software you downloaded is updated. The camera will have software that will allow you to change the device code, the protocol, and the serial communication speed. If your camera supports these features, it will work well with your PC. The software that comes with the camera will allow you to set up the device’s BNC input connectors. Start by setting the topmost BNC input connector to ‘camera number 1’. The second BNC connector will be camera #2, and the third one will be camera #3. Once you’re happy with all the settings, you can test the camera’s operation.

IR remote control

If you’re looking for an IR remote control for your USB PTZ camera, you’ve come to the right place. The USB PTZ camera is a great choice for professional use in conference rooms, UC applications, and broadcast environments. The USB PTZ camera has a built-in IR remote control and supports UVC, UAC, and RS-232 protocols. These protocols provide easy setup, camera control, and audio outputs.

This camera is compatible with many popular software programs, including OBS, vMix, Wirecast, TriCaster, and MimoLive. It lets you move the camera with a few simple mouse clicks. Advanced workflows make it easier than ever to produce content for a variety of platforms. PTZ cameras are also easy to use for production teams who are on-the-go.

Setting up presets

There are several ways to set up presets for USB PTZ cameras using your PC. To begin, select the camera from the controller and use the joystick to move it. Then, press and hold the preset number for three seconds. You should see the number set on the controller display. Press the number again to recall it. The preset number will then appear in the camera’s display.

The next step is to download and install Geovision software. This software will enable you to create and save presets with images. You can then browse to a preset location to watch a live video or view the recorded video. Once you’ve installed the software, you’ll be able to view the images and preview the camera’s movement. To save presets, follow the instructions on the software.

Connecting to a local area network

There are several ways to connect a USB PTZ camera to a local area network. One of the most popular methods is through the use of an HDBaseT network switch. This will enable the camera to transmit its control signals and power through a single cable. In this case, the distance between the camera and the switch can be as far as 50 feet. For 1080p and 4K HD video, the maximum distance is about 10 feet. For 3G/6G/12G-SDI, distances are even shorter, at less than 100 feet.

After installing the software on the computer, connect the camera to the network. It must be on the same network. If it is connected to a separate network, you must disable DHCP and enable a static IP address. Once you have enabled DHCP, you can log in to the camera’s webpage. For the computer side, you must be connected to the same network. To do this, open the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window on your computer and select ‘Obtain an IP address automatically.’
