PTZ IP Camera

Hi,

Is it possible to control the PTZ camera thru wowza server. For ex, zoom/pan/tilt the camera via wowza server.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is not something that is currently supported.

Most PTZ IP cameras can be controlled over http, so you could conceivably write a flash application to do the control.

so with development work it should be possible.

There is a discussion in this forum post where a poster talks about doing this in a silverlight player

and shows some of the http commands to move an Axis PTZ camera.

thanks daren_j. There is an issue on writing PTZ control in flash application, the camera must have static IP to allow anyone to issue http command over internet. Writing custom proxy server to control PT command is another option. If wowza supports ptz, it would be awesome.
