IDENTIFICATION METHOD FOR PAN-TILT APPARATUS, PAN-TILT APPARATUS, CAMERA AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PAN-TILT APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention provides a pan-tilt-zoom device identification method, a pan-tilt-zoom device, a camera, and a pan-tilt-zoom device control system. The corresponding method includes: when the pan-tilt-zoom device finds that a device connects to a predetermined interface, sending a keep-alive command to the connecting device, where the keep-alive command includes pan-tilt-zoom device capability information carrying a control function of the pan-tilt-zoom device; and determining, by the connecting device, the control function of the pan-tilt-zoom device according to the keep-alive command, and reporting control capability information of the pan-tilt-zoom device. In the present invention, a camera determines, according to a keep-alive command, that a pan-tilt-zoom device connects to the camera and whether the pan-tilt-zoom device is available, and an information exchange procedure for notifying that the pan-tilt-zoom device connects to the camera is added for the camera and a management platform, which is convenient for the management platform and the camera to find a configuration problem by using capabilities of the management platform and the camera, thereby reducing a workload, lowering an error probability, and improving maintenance real-time performance.
