Wansview PTZ?

Post by opleinew »

Has anyone had any luck getting PTZ control working for Wansview cameras? I have a Wansview NCM625GA. Figured someone might have a functional control script and settings already created somewhere. I searched the forums but couldn't find anything conclusive. I did find references to the apis that can trigger movement, and confirmed they work liteblue w/ wget calls but haven't yet figured out how to get those integrated in any useful perl script. Any assistance would be appreciated, otherwise I'll keep digging deeper until I get it running.
Thanks!

I might have a generic PTZ script you can work with. These are present in /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control.
/usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control/Wanscam.pm
/usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control/WanscamHW0025.pm

perhaps these can be the templates to a script that will work with Wansview

example: /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Control/WanscamHW0025.pm
