Introduction
...
Model: The camera model.
User ID: A user friendly ID that can be used for external control, associated with whomever added the camera.
Asset Code: Insert your asset code if applicable.
...
Automatic: The camera will be controlled using the configured settingsautomatically by Witness based on the camera and camera group configuration. The automatic following of targets is controlled through the use of rules.
Mirror: This setting allows the camera to mirror a master camera configured for manual operationin either automatic or manual mode.
Manual: The operator has manual control of a camera to follow a targetcamera can only be controlled and moved by the operator.
Allow Latching: This per camera option allows the camera to be used in latching.
...
External ID: External ID of the driver.
Small Move Delta (m): The minimum amount of movement of a target before tasking the camera. The distance is calculated from its last position to its current position, and only if this threshold is breached will the camera be moved.
Zoom Coefficient A, B, C: These three values are derived from the model number of the camera and define the manner in which the zoom reacts to changing distance. These values are generally not altered.
Max. Zoom Range (m): The maximum distance to which the camera will zoom to (if technically capable).

These settings are for fine tuning cameras. It is recommended that they are only utilized by trained users. |
Tilt Offsets
Min Tilt: / Max Tilt: These settings are the minimum and maximum tilts that the camera can mechanically support. Typically these are the angle below and and above the horizon.
Tilt Offset: This is a fixed offset for the camera. For example, some cameras may treat a tilt of zero degrees as pointing at the ground, however, the normal convention is for zero degrees to point horizontally.
