managed to get my Imporx mounted at the front of the house and wired up. Now we're into the programming stage and I could use some guidance or help. The software that came with the unit I can describe with a single word.... sucks! This includes the manuals. I tried googling the topic and even trying to find some you tube videos on programming PTZs but I haven't found anything that seems helpful to me.
Putting a PTZ where I did could have been easily handled with a couple of fixed camera but I wanted to play around with a PTZ to try and get to understand them and how they work.
Basically I'm covering off a narrow area at the front of my townhouse. On one side (left) I've got my garage wall extending outwards from the front and on the right I've got a neighbours wall extending outwards. It's sort of like covering an alleyway. from front porch to small wooden deck, then part of driveway on left, very small lawn on right out to 20 feet then sidewalk, boulevard and street. Facing south so as sun comes around it hit's the lens a little but nothing major.
There's a menu inside the camera where you can do the programming but I find going in and out of each area a bit confusing and the steps seems pretty involved and then I forget how it all works and end up restarting over...
Is there some type of software other than the camera menu that can be used to program? The camera is ONVIF compatible.
I just want to experiment. The area I'm covering wouldn't required complicated preset, tours. The unit is capable of auto motion tracking which is why I bought it... to follow someone from the walkway to the front of the house and potentially back out.
