ptz 214 camera

[Sajeesh]

hi...alll......

i have an application using AXIS 214  PTZ Network camera.So can i control the Pan /Tilt/Zoom of the camera by RS 232 or RS 485 or /TCP/IP protocols by LabVIEW.

or is there any USB/Network IP camera whose TIlt/Pan/Zoom can be controlled by LabVIEW?

LabVIEW has inherent support for 232, 485 and TCP/IP protocols. I am not sure if those actions are supported through the protocols; that can be verified by contacting the manufacture directly.

As for what kind of cameras are supported, have a look at the following:

Hello,

Axis usually has an ActiveX control you can use for that with labview. The PTZ functions are probably in there as well. Otherwise some PTZ cameras also support the PelcoD protocol.

Here are some links from the axis site:
