What is PTZ control - For Beginners
PTZ control is the control over a PTZ camera's pan, tilt and zoom functions. PTZ cameras can pan horizontally, tilt on a vertical axis and zoom in & out. A PTZ controller allows you to remotely manage these camera operations. In this case, you can use our joystick controllers to manage your PTZ controls. As mentioned above, our joystick controllers allow you to control a lot more than the basic pan, tilt and zoom functions.
What’s the difference between serial and IP?
Serial is a physical connection that sends data at a bit-level with a serial communication protocol. IP (Ethernet) is the most common way to connect your devices to a local area network (LAN) and acts as the transmission mechanism. Most of our joysticks allow both serial and IP functions. Both the IP camera controller and the serial camera controller functions have their benefits.
Manage Multiple Cameras
BZBGEAR Joystick Controllers allow a single user to effectively operate multiple PTZ cameras. Quickly and seamlessly switch between multiple PTZ cameras and camera angles with the powerful preset functions. Easily make color corrections and exposure adjustments on the fly with dedicated white balance and iris controls. Joystick controller setup is also made simple with our easy to follow manual included with every package.
Work efficiently
