This project aims to provide a tool for the management of PTZ cameras, especially via touch devices. The tool communicates with PTZ cameras via the VISCA UDP/IP protocol.
It provides (per default) 18 buttons for a (theoretically) unlimited number of PTZ cameras. (In practice, more than 3 PTZ cameras may result in poor interface usability.)
The control logic is processed centrally in a python service and synced across all (web) clients using WebSockets.
In order to run the tool, usage of docker/docker-compose is recommended.
If you want to start the tool manually via its entry point (main.py),
the following (pip) dependencies must be installed in addition to Python 3.8 or higher:
- websockets (9.x)
- asyncio-dgram (2.x)
- fastapi (0.95.x)
- starlette (0.26.x)
The default settings of this tool match specifically our setup.
Please adapt constants.py, using sane values that fit your setup.
