Easy pan, tilt & zoom controls for your PTZOptics camera! Controls pan & tilt with variable speeds to match every option inside PTZOptics cameras. Use a 2 & 3-dimensional joystick with “twist” control of focus and zoom! Easily set up pan and tilt limits using the latest version of the PTZOptics camera firmware.

Tip: Setup pan limits to restrict camera operators from moving outside a given area. Set up boundaries limits for fast-moving sports games like Basketball and Hockey. This way, your camera operators can quickly move left or right without ever “overshooting” the game space boundaries.

Tip: Lower tilt limits when tracking presenters on stage. If your camera operators are mainly concerned with left to right movement, avoid accidentally tilting the camera up or down by reducing the camera’s motor speeds for this action.

This PTZ joystick controller is designed specifically for PTZOptics cameras. Functionality with other PTZ camera models may be limited.

Yes. The PTZOptics joystick controller can be powered via an Ethernet cable with Power over Ethernet (PoE).

This joystick can control over 100 IP connected PTZOptics cameras. Each camera requires an IP address in order to be setup with the controller. Keep in mind this joystick has 6 camera quick select keys but you can access more cameras with the CAM ID button.

Yes. The speed button on this PTZ joystick controller allows camera operators to set unique speeds for pan, tilt and zoom. You can also set speed levels for PTZ preset recall.
