VISCA Pan, Tilt, Zoom Cameras

PTZ Camera
Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) cameras can be controlled by Mira Connect™, Aveo
Systems' smart control appliance. Mira Connect uses Sony's VISCA (Video
System Control Architecture) camera protocol to control pan, tilt, and zoom,
for VISCA-compatible cameras.
In addition to camera pan, tilt, and zoom control, Mira Portal supports saving
camera presets, making it easy to restore presets with Mira Connect to
re-position the camera to predefined locations.
To integrate a PTZ Camera with Mira Connect, add a 'Universal VISCA
Step
1
Camera' to the room in Mira Portal (https://mira.aveosystems.com)
and enter the IP address of the camera and the TCP port number. If
you don't have an actual PTZ camera while configuring Mira
Connect, you can choose to simulate the PTZ Camera by checking
the 'Simulate equipment' box.
If the camera is to be controlled directly over its Ethernet
interface, the port number to use will be described in the camera's
documentation. If the camera will be controlled over RS-232 using a
Global Caché IP2SL interface, the port number should be set to 4999
(the default).
Step Next, navigate to the Camera Configuration tab and enter the
2
camera's ID (typically 1) and enter a name for the camera and press
'add equipment'.
If you have more than one camera daisy-chained over RS-232, click
ADD DAISY-CHAINED RS-232 CAMERA to enter additional cameras.
The camera names will be visible on Mira Connect on the Cameras
menu.
Once the cameras have been added, Mira Connect will connect to
Step
the devices and show the status of the connection. Mira Portal will
3
show the equipment status as a green circle with a check mark if the
equipment was detected at the specified IP address and network
port and is controllable by Mira Connect.
If the camera cannot be connected to by Mira Connect, a warning icon
happens, first check the RS-232 baud rate used by the Global Caché IP2SL (most VISCA cameras operate at 9600
bps while the Global Caché IP2SL defaults to 19,200), and then edit the camera settings and confirm the IP address,
port number, and camera IDs used for the cameras.
On each camera, ensure the camera ID is set to the desired value (or set automatically), the VISCA protocol is
enabled, and the RS-232 baud rate settings match the Global Caché IP2SL RS-232 settings. Adjusting settings on
the camera may requires access to the camera's infra-red (IR) controller.
