TODO: Add Photo of camera

Loftek Sentinel

This is an outdoor PTZ IP Camera with 3x Optical Zoom. This camera is very similar to a Foscam camera [2] except with a different set of features.

Acquiring the video stream

General
Name: {give the camera a name}
Source Type: Remote
Function: {select from the dropdown}
Enabled: Tick
Maximum FPS: Empty
Alarm Maximum FPS: Empty
Source
Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple
Remote Host Name: x.x.x.x {The IP of the camera}
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /videostream.cgi?user=admin&pwd={password}&resolution=32&rate=11
Remote Image Colours: 24 bit colour
Capture Width: 640
Capture Height: 480

Unlike the Foscam's [1], I have not run into any issues running at 640x80.


PTZ Control File

I used a number of sources to create the following control file [2][3].

Here are the supported functions:

  1. Camera reset
  2. Pan left/right
  3. Tilt up/down
  4. Emulated diagonal movement
  5. Zoom in/out
  6. Brightness (Iris)
  7. Contrast (White)
  8. Can set & recall up to 8 presets
  9. Presets 9 & 10 respectively start and stop a patrol

TODO: Add instructions for creating the control inside Zoneminder

Copy and paste the following code into a file and call it "LoftekSentinel.pm". Save the file into the same folder as the file called "PanasonicIP.pm".

Notes & Troubleshooting

  1. The PTZ Control File is compatible with Zoneminder 1.25.0. If using an older version, you may have to change the line that reads "use ZoneMinder::Logger qw(:all);" to "use ZoneMinder::Debug qw(:all);" .
  2. TODO: Add more notes
