How to use LogiSphere for Tilt/Pan only

In older versions of LogiSphere I could use the program for tilt/pan and let other software handle the image processing.

In LogiSphere 2.x this is not possible anymore.

Or did I miss something?

This is still possible.

When setting up the PTZ camera, proceed as if you'd use the image processing within LogiSphere.

After you have set up everything,
- uncheck Use Cam
- keep Use PTZ checked
- save your settings.

Now LogiSphere is ready to serve PTZ functions only with this camera.

Undecided I'm REAL sorry if this is in wrong thread, the questions and answers is locked.

I'd like to know if it's possible to take the cam/ptz controls and copyright from http://70.255.25.9:8080/java/index.html?cam=0
and make my own page with it???

i tried view source but, no such luck...

To "Anonymous",

Certainly you can use pieces of the HTML content and Java apps to make your own pages. The content is intended to be a template or starting-point for your own page designs.

I'm not sure why View Source didn't work for you. Perhaps you were right-clicking directly over a Java applet rather than right-clicking over an HTML area of the page?

Here's a better way to get into the page source: Use a text editor such as Notepad. Open up
"c:\program files\logisphere\wwwroot\java\index.html"
You should be able to view, edit, save, etc.

There are a lot of Server Side Include tags in that HTML file. For documentation on what they mean and how to use them, click THIS LINK.

Thanks for reply...
Forgive the newness !
where would i put my ip and port # in these templates if i wanted to take the java.hml page and make it my own?
where "dummy" is?
<td align="center"><a target="dummy" href="right0-2"><img src="../img/right.gif" alt="right" border="0"></a></td>

You could do it using iframes that's how my webcams work. On this page for example. All an iframe does is diplay this page inside first page. Just save the html below to your wwwroot folder making sure to call it pan_tilt_iframe.html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html>
<head>

<!-- logistreaming -->
</head>

<iframe src="" name="dummy" frameborder="0" height="1" width="1">This will hold the html answer
of the moves </iframe>
<table width="320">

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <td align="center">Sphere motion</td>

<!--#include stop tiltpan --><!-- zoom active -->
      <td align="center">Zoom</td>

    <tr>

        </tbody>
      </table>

      </td>

<!--#include stop tiltpan --><!-- zoom active -->
      <td align="center">
      <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

        <tbody>

        </tbody>
      </table>

      </td>

<!--#include stop zoom --> </tr>

  </tbody>
</table>

</body>
</html>
Then place this code on the webpage you want to view the webcam from:
  <iframe src="http://70.255.39.9:8080/pan_tilt_iframe.html"
 name="frame1" align="middle" frameborder="no"
 height="365" scrolling="no" width="360"></iframe>
