Identification method for pan-tilt equipment, pan-tilt equipment, camera and control system for pan-tilt equipment

Abstract

An identification method for a pan-tilt apparatus comprises: when the pan-tilt apparatus detects that a device is connected to a predetermined interface, sending a keep-alive command to the access device, wherein the keep-alive command comprises capability information of the pan-tilt apparatus which carries a control function of the pan-tilt apparatus (11); and the access device determining the control function of the pan-tilt apparatus according to the keep-alive command, and reporting the control capability information of the pan-tilt apparatus (12). The method determines whether the pan-tilt apparatus is accessed and available by use of a camera through the keep-alive command, adds an information interaction process of pan-tilt apparatus access notification between the camera and a management platform, facilitates capability discovery and configuration of the management platform and the camera, reduces the workload and the error probability, and improves the real-time property of maintenance. Also disclosed are a pan-tilt apparatus, a camera and a control system for a pan-tilt apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of camera equipment control, and relates to a pan-tilt equipment identification method, a pan-tilt equipment, a video camera and a pan-tilt equipment control system. Background technique [0002] In the field of video surveillance, cameras are widely used. In conventional surveillance projects, the number of cameras is relatively large, especially bullet cameras, and bullet cameras are generally fixed. If they need to be rotated, the configuration will generally be increased. The PTZ device assists the rotation of the bullet camera, but neither the management platform nor the bullet camera can automatically sense whether the camera is equipped with a PTZ device. In the prior art, it is common to manually configure the camera itself, and then configure the management platform after the maintenance personnel know that the camera is configured with the pan-tilt device. control.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] If there is an abnormality in the control of the camera or PTZ equipment, the management platform cannot automatically perceive it. Only through maintenance and construction personnel to the equipment installation site, the cause of the failure of the camera or PTZ equipment can be known through investigation, and it can be used normally after repairing. As a result, the workload and difficulty of maintenance and construction personnel are large and error-prone, and the real-time performance of maintenance is poor
