Can Bosch camera move with specific speed to a certain PAN & Tilt Position Coordinate (RCP command)?
Question
Can Bosch camera move with specific speed to a certain PAN & Tilt Position Coordinate (RCP command)?
Answer
Moving at own defined speed can ONLY be done by
Send PAN/TILT coordinate separately + speed
Or use continues move+speed, followed by stop command.
When using predefined presets, this ALWAYS happens at fastest speed.
How to get PAN and Tilt value:
Turn the camera in any direction or call a preset, now send below URL to read back the HEX coordinate value
10.0.1.149/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x85000601d001
OR
Convert the Position Coordinate from below globe into a HEX value so it can be used in the URL
Example of 90° in HEX:
Note that 90° tilt from below globe is 0° tilt in the OSD-reading (turn on Azimuth in PTZ menu)
Example how the command is built up:
0x80 flag for No Return_Payload
0006 Bicom PTZ Server ID
01a2 Object ID - PositionCoordinate
01a1 for PAN(0°-270°)
01a2 for TILT(0°-180°)
02 Operation mode SET
Payload built up:
payload [Byte 0] = Position Upper byte
payload [Byte 1] = Position Lower byte
payload [Byte 2] = Speed Upper Byte
payload [Byte 3] = Speed Lower Byte
payload [Byte 4] = Direction Byte (00:Left, 01:Right)
2328 Bicom Data - Position is Degrees x 100 (90° x100 = DEC 9000 to HEX 2328)
0014 Bicom Data - Speed is Deg/s x 100 (slowest move is 0.20° x100 = DEC 20 to HEX 0014)
Pan Speed Range is 0.20°/second - 120.00°/second
Tilt Speed Range is 0.20°/second - 90.00°/second
01 PAN Direction Byte ([empty]:fastest direction, 00:Left, 01:Right)
When sending to PositionCoordinate with a certain speed you need to send PAN and TILT separately
Below there are some examples (adapt the red text with your details):
Tilt
45° speed of 0.20°/sec:
http://10.0.1.149/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000601a20234d80014
90° (globe) is 0° (OSD-read)/slow speed of 0.20°/sec:
http://10.0.1.149/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000601a20223280014
Pan
270° slowest speed of 0.20°/sec - fastest direction:
http://10.0.1.149/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000601a102697a0014
270° speed of 1°/sec – pan right:
http://10.0.1.149/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000601a102697a006401
Send PAN&TILT Position Coordinate RCP command via curl command line Password example:
curl "http://username:password@10.0.1.149/ rcp.xml?.....................
Example:
Copy/Paste below at ones in CMD (CommandLine), and the camera will also move diagonal. Both commands will parallel be processed by the camera, not serial
curl "http://10.0.1.149/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000601a20223280064
curl "http://10.0.1.149/rcp.xml?command=0x09A5&type=P_OCTET&direction=WRITE&num=1&payload=0x80000601a102697a0064
How to check if the camera reached its position:
Use the very first point of this document and read back if the coordinate has been reached
Other way is to check the motor status
Below it is an example about how this command is used in a script:
