The Telemetry Object

The Telemetry object is displayed in the device list as the child object of its respective PTZ camera.

To configure a camera's PTZ controls, the following must be true:

1. Select the Telemetry object in the objects tree (1)
   
2. Enable the PTZ device by selecting Yes in the Enable field (2).
3. Enter the name of the PTZ device (3).

4. To simultaneously control a PTZ camera by multiple users with the same priority, select Yes  in the Multiple control List (4). Otherwise, only one user at a time will have a control (see Controlling a PTZ Camera).

5. Configuring patrol (5):

   1. Select the default patrol mode. Yes - enabled, No - off. 

      . When patrolling is enabled, the video camera automatically changes its position along a route defined in its presets list.

      Note

      Patrolling is enabled through the Patrolling button in the PTZ camera control panel (see the section titled Patrolling).

   2. Set the interval of time (in seconds) at which the PTZ device will switch between presets while in Patrol mode.
   3. Set the transition speed from one preset  to another in arbitrary units from 0 to 100.

6. By default, presets are stored on IP cameras. If you want to store presets on Server, select No  in Save presets (6). 

   Note

   This option is available only for devices that support Absolute Positioning.

7. To be able to use in C-Werk the already created presets from the device, you should:

   1. Select Yes in the Use device presets option (7).

   2. Create in C-Werk presets with the same ID.

      Attention!

      If you have not enabled the Use device presets option, the existing presets can be lost if the following conditions are in place:

      1. In C-Werk, the recording presets to the device option enabled (see. P.5).

      2. In C-Werk, a preset with the same ID is created

      Note

      When connecting the device via ONVIF, using standard presets may require additional configuration (see Notes on configuring video cameras connected via ONVIF)

8. If necessary, configure Tag & Track (8, see Configuring object tracking).

9. Depending on camera, you may find other options in  the More group (9). To configure them, please refer to the interface help section and tooltips or official documentation.

10. Click the Apply button.

The PTZ device will then be switched to its assigned work mode.
To check the functioning of the PTZ device, click the Test button. If the PTZ device is configured correctly, it will turn one step and return to its original position.
