In v3.0 Nx Witness introduced the ability to use the Axis T8311 Joystick to control live PTZ cameras on Windows OS-based computers.
How To Setup & Use the Axis T8311 Joystick
- Plug in the Axis T8311 Joystick to the computer that you will be using.
* The drivers should be automatically installed by Windows and the device should be recognized. - If your Nx Desktop app is open when you plugged in the joystick, restart your Nx Desktop. If not, open Nx Desktop.
- Open the PTZ camera you would like to control with the Joystick and click on the PTZ icon with your mouse.
- Use the Joystick to Pan, Tilt, and Zoom the camera.
Why does Nx only support one joystick controller for PTZ?
- IP cameras are network based and have latency, making joystick control....not great.
- Nx Witness has Advanced PTZ - a feature that makes analog joysticks seem....well, outdated.
