Hey Ben thank you for the quick reply and sorry for the slow response. Once I know the make and model of your cameras it may be possible to find the right commands and therefore build a simple script to do this. This should work pretty well as long as there is low likelihood that one script will be called during the time that a different script is waiting in the delay period.Īs for night-vision and IR, SecuritySpy does not have controls for this, because each camera manufacturer uses a different set of commands for features such as this. To reset to a particular preset after a certain time, you could do something like this: You can create multiple scripts in this way for the different views you want. This script can then be set as a trigger in Indigo. For example, here is an AppleScript to move the first four cameras to their first preset position, all at the same time:Īctual camera numbers can be obtained from the Camera Info window in SecuritySpy (if you don't see this column, click the header bar where you see the column names to add it). SecuritySpy doesn't have a built-in feature to control the PTZ of multiple cameras simultaneously, however this can be achieved with some simple AppleScripts. Cameras have certainly come a long way - what make/model cameras are you using? Since you are happy with the cameras this would be good for us and other users to know. Your setup sounds great, and it's great to hear you are getting good results with SecuritySpy.
So, I realize I brought up two or three separate things here.thanks for the software. Yes, I’m very happy about the cams since the skylink101 cam days. I’ve been focusing on 4K and 8K cams.the quality is really getting good. But a global method to do this using SS or even one cam at a time. I would have all cams auto return (as a group) to security position POS1 after 2 to 10 minutes.Īnother desire: I would also love to be able to set all cams to night-vision color vs. 8K cams for a great valley view, so there could be 7 or 8 PTZ’s to control.Ī ‘feature’ >. In addition I will be installing 3 or 4 more cams 25- or 30-feet in the air just for the view and a little reduncency. But Being a newbie I haven’t convinced myself SS has some of this already built in. I suppose I could write something in Indigo to control SS. It might be auto-sampled every hour for a quick storm picture then return to security monitor.maybe, still thinking of this position. POS3 Valley view is great for seeing approaching storms. It won’t catch traffic accidents but will catch the aftermath. POS2 for the traffic may be activated also under crash-sound ing an outdoor glass-break sensor. POS4.8 would still be used on an individual non-grouped basis. All PTZ cams zoom “out yonder” to see the mountains, the sunset, the horizon.in every direction. All PTZ cams move to view the street, intersection, train crossing.ģ) POS3. All cams go to best position to view actual property.
There are at least three viewing situations where I want to send all PTZ cams to a particular view:ġ) POS1. I live on a corner with a good view of two separate streets and also a very superior view of the entire Salt Lake Valley (Yes, Utah). I also have a fairly large Indigo installation.

Hello, I’ve use SS now for several weeks and enjoy it very much, 16-camera license and currently using about 12 cams, 5 of them PTZ cams.
