Bolin PTZ Cameras #1434

Open sd2082 opened 3 months ago

sd2082 commented 3 months ago

Looking to control Bolin Technology PTZ Cameras, which follow the VISCA over IP standard. Specifically, looking to control the R9, EXU, and Blue Line series of cameras.

We would like it to control the pan, tilt, and zoom of the camera, as well as trigger the tally, activate the wiper (EXU), and set/recall presets. Over time we would like to add more functionality, but this is the initial request.

The (beta) API is attached here. Please let me know if you face any issues. V20231117beta.pdf

If they follow the VISCA standard, what’s stopping you from using one of the existing VISCA modules?

sd2082 commented 3 months ago

Customers aren’t aware that they can do that for one, as they are searching for Bolin. Additionally, with our newer cameras we’re expanding our range of VISCA commands from 24 steps to 255 steps so the existing VISCA modules are not 100% compatible. Regards, Sapan DoshiOn Mar 14, 2024, at 6:58 PM, Joseph Adams @.***> wrote: If they follow the VISCA standard, what’s stopping you from using one of the existing VISCA modules?
