Change Speed of Joystick

If PTZ control through joystick is too fast, you can limit the speed by editing the acc.ini file.

 

1.      Edit %appdata%\Aimetis\acc.ini and change the following parameters with the default values:

[joystick]

maxpan=100

maxtilt=100

maxzoom=100

pollinterval=100

deadzone=20

 

maxpan, maxtilt, and maxzoom values can range from 0 to 100

pollinterval values are in milliseconds

deadzone value is a percentage of physical x, y, and z range

 

2.      If response is too sensitive, try lowering the values.

3.      Save the acc.ini file and restart Symphony Client for the changes to take effect.
