Joystick settings allow you to calibrate it with the aim of customizing it in order to operate according to the user's taste.
These settings involve parameters such as joystick sensitivity and operation delay.
To access this configuration, click on the Joystick button, located in the camera's PTZ settings, opening the screen below:
•Activate / Deactivate the Visual Joystick: Enable or disables the visual joystick. To learn what the visual joystick is and how it works, see Visual Joystick.
•Pause PTZ Patrol: Pauses current PTZ Patrol to allow PTZ control.
•Apply settings for testing: Apply the settings made only for testing. Camera movement tests with the adjustments made must be performed on the camera image on the configuration screen.
•Restore Defaults Button: Restores the default settings for joystick adjustments.
•General tab: Allows you to access the operation delay settings.
•Operation Scales tab: Allows accessing the operation scales settings, defining the sensitivity for the joystick.
The operation delay is the time the system waits for the command to be sent to the camera. The default for this configuration is 200ms, that is, the system will send 1 command every 200ms while the joystick is being operated. This value is necessary so that the system does not overload the camera with many PTZ commands.
Operating ranges allow you to choose an operating range for each camera function. All values are expressed as a percentage.
To access this feature, click on the Operation Scales tab, as shown in the figure below:
These settings apply to the power of the engines. For a better understanding of this configuration let's look at the PAN bar. If you hold the joystick all the way to the left, the camera's speed will be 80% of its maximum speed. It is also possible to specify a minimum movement speed, that is, if you hold the joystick just a few centimeters to the left, the camera speed will be 5% of the minimum camera speed.
