Click on “Rocosoft UVCCam Controller” label to switch between panel layouts

 

Getting Started

Before starting UVCCam Pro, connect your PTZ camera to your computer. Please make sure your PTZ camera is turned ON.

Controlling your PTZ camera

Once the PTZ camera is connected to your computer, open UVCCam Pro. Choose the desired method of camera control from the Control Type Selection buttons: KeyPad or KBoard. The default Control Type is KeyPad.

 

 

 

Keyboard Hotkeys

Control pan/tilt/zoom/focus functions, change speed settings, call on presets, and switch cameras using pre-assigned shortcuts or “hotkeys” on any standard keyboard. This is a diagram of the UVCCam pre-assigned keyboard hotkeys:

** Pressing Ctrl+J button combination will Set Current Preset.

*** Clicking on any text field in the UVCCam required to activate directional arrows with some computers.

****Short tap on the directional buttons starts permanent camera movement until the button tapped again. Pressing and holding down any directional button will start camera movement in that direction until the button is released.

 

 

 

 

Using the PTZ Web remote

Control PTZ cameras connected to the Main Controller from the web browser of any computer or mobile device over any LAN, Wi-Fi, and WAN IP network. Use it as a far-end controller to switch between cameras, control pan, tilt, zoom, and focus, and call on presets. There is no limit on the quantity of simultaneous connections to our PTZ Web Server. It means that cameras can be controller simultaneously from as many devices as needed.

        

1)      Turn ON Web Control access on the Main Controller.

2)      The default port for Web Control is 80 and the current IP Address and access information of the Main Controller can be found by clicking on the Settings button. The Port 80 is reserved by default in Skype, but Skype does not use this port. It is recommended to uncheck “Use Port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections” field by opening Tools- Options- Advanced- Connection in Skype. Freeing the port 80 for PTZ control will allow distant PTZ camera control using IP address only.

3)      Open the web browser on your mobile device and type in the IP Address of the Main Controller
(see About) into the URL Bar on your mobile device.

4)      The WebRemote will appear in the web browser of your mobile device and you can now control the PTZ cameras connected to the Main Controller.

5)      The WebRemote will appear full size in your web-browser – if you are using a computer, you can resize the WebRemote to a more convenient-to-use size by simply changing the zoom settings in the browser.

6)      The Camera Status Display will show relevant information such as which camera is being controlled, which port is selected, and the pan, tilt, and zoom speed.

*Control cameras using the WebRemote from a device outside of your local area network by configuring your router and opening ports to accept outside signals. Once your router is configured, you can open a web browser on any device and type in the IP Address of the Main Controller and control your camera.
