PTZ Settings for Lorex W261AQ

[fjk5146]

I have a Lorex W261AQ which I am trying to add to my BI system. I setup the camera using the Lorex Home app. Once I got the camera connected to my local network I was able to control the camera using the PTZ controls in the Lorex Home iPhone app on my phone. I then went into BI and added the camera. I had to use admin for user and the camera password I had setup from the Lorex Home app. The video feed from the camera appeared on my BI screen. I then went to PTZ setup tab and enabled PTZ control. However, I can not pan or tilt the camera from BI.

Has anyone else had success setting up this camera in BI? If so could you share your PTZ settings?

Thanks in advance,

Fred

Did you do the Find/inspect feature when you added the camera.

In the PTZ control tab, try a few of the Dahua options as one of them will probably get it going.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did not use the Find/Inspect feature to add the camera. I was able to find the model number in the BI camera selection dialog. I also tried all of the Dahua camera PTZ settings, but none of them worked. I will try the find and inspect and see what it says.

I did the Find/Inspect and got the following information:

Does this give a hint on settings I should try for the PTZ controls?

Thanks,

Fred

Usually the find/inspect will pick the best option for the camera. My Dahua PTZ comes in as generic and all the PTZ controls work in BI. Lorex is Dahua OEM, so it should work similar.
