Setting up a PTZ Controller with ONVIF

There are several standards for controlling your PTZ camera lke ONVIF, VISCA, and NDI. The most common on the inexpensive control boards is by far ONVIF because its open source. It's also turned off by default on most cameras. Learn how to setup most PTZ cameras to be controlled through ONVIF.

The best advice no one else offered! Thank you!😅

[@microdesigns2000]

Good video. 1) How to use the control board to tell the camera to begin it's auto tracking function? 2) How to make the M1/M2/F1/F2 buttons do something?

sounds great

[@CharlesLukoba]

I followed your instructions & it worked.

Hi I Bought a Hsility Controller and a Fomako Camera, but I have not been able to connect the two. I am thinking that the Fomako camera works only Fomako board. Can you help please.

[@Uc9uE3pKsS6uQ]

ONVIF is over the internet cable whatever device is plugged in to internet, no matter on what continent just set TUNNELING between two routers

[@bengoodman1435]

Can you do a video on how to set patrol preset, zone preset, set pattern, and call patrol & pattern, thanks, I have the same controller no instruction on how to do this, I can set the presets positions, just don't know how to transition from one point to another with the presets with the zone or pattern presets

[@Foundery]

Let me see what I can figure out. This arnt features we've used at as we use them just for streaming.

Hello, I have some problems connecting AVKAM 20X ptz cameras with this controller, the first time it connected without any problem, now I can connect them, it sends me the message connection failed, can you please help me

[@PressPlayProductions1]

Followed step by step and still not finding cameras on the network, any help?

[@kashabbas110]

Great Video thanks, can i just ask out of SMTAV NDI, Fomako NDI 1080 PTZ POE, which one would you go for for a place or worship? Thank you in advance

[@Rodriroav69]

Hello, I need help to configure 3 PTZ optics cameras with that controller and use it In vmix. Thanks for your help

[@anzacsoebobby]

Just curious, i saw there is no iris setup in your PTZ setting, are you can a just the iris PTZ camera from the controller? Because in some ptz setting, like minrray i saw there is iris setup in ptz menu/settings.

[@Foundery]

Yes. The controller has IRIS+/- buttons and an Auto IRIS button.

Olá você pode me ajudar? Tenho esse controlador, porém ele não movimenta minha câmera... Fiz tudo certo porém a câmera fica estática! O que fazer?

[@Foundery]

Is the video from the camera correctly showing on the controller screen? O vídeo da câmera está sendo exibido corretamente na tela do controlador?

[@charleshampton2013]

using a 4 po4t switch with POE.

[@rinico75]

What make is this controller

[@musicmanshawnmr76]

hi i need help, when i connect my internet to the poe switch and the camera and controller, i am only seeing the camera through the web browser, but the controller wont see any cameras what am i doing wrong?

[@Foundery]

Are the cameras and controller setup to be on the same network? The controller can be set to use DHCP to join your network, but it's best to give the camera it's own IP address. If they are on the same network you should be able to do a search on the controller then add it to your list.

[@kofiadoma9648]

I have the same setup and have been using it over a year now. Recently, the IP disconnects and connects by itself. it stays on for about 10 seconds and then disconnects again. this keep happening the whole time. what is wrong?

[@Rojasdrums]

IP conflict

[@thiagocesar8726]

Muito bom o vídeo, poderia falar mais sobre o controle ptz. 🙏🏻

[@charleshampton2013]

Having trouble get a connection from Poe TO CONTROLER . no data connection. Does it nrequire a crossover cable?

[@Foundery]

Not that I'm aware of. Are you using a POE injector or a switch with built in POE?

[@revandrem]

@@Foundery I'm having same issue and i use a switch with built in poe

[@dippinator1705]

Hello, you made a presentation about the FoMaKo IP Lan Controller (some time ago). What do you think is the better choice for controll ptz ip and non-IP Ptz camera's with one device/controller?

[@Foundery]

I would say the FoMaKo has the edge over this one. We don't use the preview screen on this often and the other has better button lay out. But, it's also more expensive. Either will work fine really.

[@Bernard-H]

Hello my name is Bernard, I have the same controller for my PTZ camera in my church and i am having a bit of an issue i am looking to fix if possible you are able to help me. It has been working just fine for the last 1 year now and i like the quality but now i am noticing that for some reason it sometimes disconnects from the IP and the screen turns black and i cannot control the camera during a live stream. When that happens i am still able to see the camera in my preview monitor but not on the PTZ controller. I usually have to wait til the controller connects back to the IP automatically or i do a search of the IP and connect to it again but then after a while it disconnects again. I don't know why it's doint this or what's causing the controller to do this. Could it be a controller issue or PTZ camera issue? I'm not sure. Your help would be much appreciated in me fixing this issue please if possible.

[@psiho051]

Does it work with Hikvision protocol and cameras?

[@Foundery]

It speaks a couple of standard protocols including ONVIF. So long as the cameras support one of those standards you should be fine. Haven't tested Hikvision so not sure about that specifically.

[@psiho051]

We have a similar setup for two ptz cameras. The video format is set on the back of the cameras by a numbered dial. The cameras hdmi feed and , a computer display are feed into a Roland v-1hd switcher . A hdmi switch distributes the video to the 7 screens around the church, One of the hdmi distribution outputs goes to our main desktop computer in the sound booth to record the video. Here is problem! With ProPresenter 7 running the video is very choppy. Lots of dropped frames. Cameras are set to 1080p59 so the displays are smooth. If ProPresenter 7 is not running the recorded video is good with ProPresenter 7 it is very choppy. Do you have any experience with ProPresenter 7 that might help? I have set the bit rate to 6 Mbps. Looks like I may have to record on a 2 pc. Thanks

[@Foundery]

We don't use ProPresentor we use Proclaim, so I'm not sure exactly. I do know, like all presentation software, ProP is a resource hog. So my guess is you hit the limit of either your CPU or harddrive. If you are on PC open task manager before you get started and see what the levels are at for CPU use when it's bad.

[@rickeyparker8582]

Thanks, I have checked disk, cpu, you utilization early on troubleshooting. Did not see significant difference. I will probably have to use a second dedicated pc to record. Thanks for you hard work. I am sure lots of church AC staff need to see you videos. Rwp

[@ADKDIO-Camera]

@@rickeyparker8582 Excuse me, is there any prompt in the process of connecting to the computer?

[@rickeyparker8582]

@@ADKDIO-Camera. Not sure what you mean. The hdmi signal from each camera is converted and sent over a cat6 cable to a receiver then converted back to a hdmi signal at a switch (roland v-1HD) the roland outputs the selected camera/ computer input to a hdmi 8 port switch. One of these outputs goes to a capture board on a computer used only for recording and streaming. The other outputs go to large hd tv inside the church. Hope this helps.

[@paulkilroy]

Great channel. I'm developing a simpler controller for IP PTZ cameras that also use an ATEM switcher.. If you're interested in demoing it and giving me feedback let me know.

Always happy to talk. Feel free to drop me an email :) www.jeremywilliamscott.com/contact
