The Navtech AdvanceGuard software supports a number of different camera manufacturers and models. Camera integration is a key part of our security software. Each camera is controlled and positioned accurately using both absolute and relative telemetry commands. Some models have been integrated using proprietary protocols or SDKs, however where possible we try and use the ONVIF protocol for telemetry control. This allows us to focus our attention on one camera driver that will work with the widest range of cameras.

This document includes instructions on how to use Navtech's camera control application, called Cyclops, to test whether our ONVIF driver is compatible with your ONVIF camera.

Navtech's ONVIF driver is based on the ONVIF v2.5 specification. The critical commands used are AbsoluteMove and AbsoluteZoom, so the camera's implementation of the ONVIF protocol must include support for these instructions.
