 |

Hello,
We wanted to add support for the Airlive OD-600HD (http://store.bluecherry.net/AirLive_OD_600HD_Wired_H_264_MJPEG_IP_Outdoor_Pa_p/od-600hd.htm). However I ran into problems with the perl control script extension (did not work for some reason), so I made a little PHP script for an alternative control.
Currently it supports only pan-tilt functions, but if anyone finds it useful I'll look into extending the functionality to perhaps use the Zoneminder Control Classes and add zoom/focus functionality.
Another limitation -- currently the new control does not check for Zoneminder auth, so a technically a camera using this script could be moved without authorization, but it could be used as a quick fix if you are having trouble with using standard PTZ functions.
It can be used with any IP camera that is using http for PTZ controls and adding a new camera type is as easy as editing an array within php. Currently it includes one control command set -- for Airlive OD-600HD.
The archive contains php script and installation instructions (you will need to copy file & add a coule lines in zoneminder skin php):

Thanks a lot!

Basically what Alex did was instead of creating a new perl module with the controls he made one PHP file that could have several controls built-in. Each control set is currently 10 lines so adding more is unbelievable easy if you know the exact API calls to pan / tilt the camera. We tested it on the Airlive OD-600HD in our office which does not have optical zoom, however if the need arises we can test on a couple other (optical) PTZ cameras and add in the controls for other cameras.
If you end up adding new groups into this script make sure to reply with the group you added and their API calls so we can update the script as we go along.
