Parameter Description Range
Move speed The current maximum pan and tilt speed. 1-100
Pan move time per degree Panning 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be recalibrated. Calibriation is done by requesting a 360 deg. pan (i.e. "rpan=360") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 360 degrees. If pan speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(pan speed). 1-500000
Pan scale compensation Calibration constant to compensate for non linear pan speed values. A value of "0" will disable the compensation. Higher values will compensate with a higher pan speed and lower values will compensate with a lower pan speed. When changing the "Move speed" (see above), re-calibration is required. Calculate a pan request that will require only half the time of a tilt request (e.g. if the pan speed and the tilt speed in degrees/second is equal, "rpan=45&rtilt=90"). When sending this request, if the pan move is too small, increase this calibration constant, if the pan move is too big, reduce this calibration constant. -100 - 100
Tilt move time per degree Tilting 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be recalibrated. Calibriation is done by requesting a 90 deg. tilt (i.e. "rtilt=90") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 90 degrees. If tilt speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(tilt speed). 1-500000
Tilt scale compensation Calibration constant to compensate for non linear tilt speed values. A value of "0" will disable the compensation. Higher values will compensate with a higher tilt speed and lower values will compensate with a lower tilt speed. When changing the "Move speed" (see above), re-calibration is required. Calculate a tilt request that will require only half the time of a pan request (e.g. if the pan speed and the tilt speed in degrees/second is equal, "rpan=180&rtilt=90"). When sending this request, if the tilt move is too small, increase this calibration constant, if the tilt move is too big, reduce this calibration constant. -100 - 100
Zoom time The calibration constant for zoom (time in ms for maximum zoom change). Higher values give greater zoom changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum zoom request (i.e. "rzoom=9999") at one extreme (e.g. zoom wide) takes you to the other. 1-65535
Focus time The calibration constant for focus (time in ms for maximum focus change). Higher values give greater focus changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum focus request (i.e. "rfocus=9999") at one extreme (e.g. focus near) takes you to the other. 1-65535
Iris time The calibration constant for iris (time in ms for maximum iris change). Higher values give greater iris changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum iris request (i.e "riris=9999") at one extreme (e.g. full iris close) takes you to the other. 1-65535
Current field angle The calibration constant for click-in-picture (center). Higher values give greater movements. Calibrate at minimum zoom (i.e. zoom wide) and at the most commonly used speed, by making sure that clicking on an object brings the object to the center of the image. 1-1800
Pan bar range Range (in degrees) to use with "panbar" requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will pan half this value in the corresponding direction. 1-720
Tilt bar range Range (in degrees) to use with "tiltbar" requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will tilt half this value in the corresponding direction. 1-720
Goto preset delay Time (in seconds) it takes for the image to stabilize it self, after the camera has performed the longest "goto preset action". Used for disabling/enabling image analysis (e.g. motion detection). 0-100
