Camera widget

The Camera widget, when implemented on a Px page, opens a dialog box that shows the video image from a linked camera in a popup window. This view includes the pan, tilt, and zoom features as well as buttons to adjust the camera's focus and iris. Presets are also available. The Camera widget is available in the videoDriver palette, as shown in Figure 33 Live Video Player widget. You can drag it directly from the palette onto a Px page where you can adjust the widget size and shape to fit the desired area on the page. You can also adjust the Camera widget colors by editing the properties, as described in Common videoDriver widget properties.

 
NOTE: It is important to set the PTZ properties in the Camera widget property sheet. These property values define the size of the popup dialog box that opens, as shown in Figure 32 Camera widget PTZ dialog box size properties.
