  • Patent number: 9883092
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile receiver unit (1) for controlling an actuator (2) for setting a pan and/or tilt angle ?, ? of a camera (3), said unit having a display device 4 to display an image captured by the camera (3), a control device (5) to define control commands for the actuator (2) and a transmitter unit (6) to transmit the control commands to the actuator (2), wherein the control device (5) has a gyroscopic sensor (7) to detect a relative change in angle of the mobile receiver unit (1) around at least one axis A, B, wherein a control command for a relative angle change of the pan angle ? and/or the tilt angle ? of the camera (3) is determined by the relative angle change, and/or the control device (5) has a compass sensor (8) to detect an absolute angle position of the mobile receiver unit (1) around at least one axis A, B, wherein a control command for an absolute angle setting of the pan angle ? of the camera is determined by the absolute angle position.

  • Publication number: 20130021433
    Abstract: A method of operating a surveillance camera arrangement includes panning a PTZ camera about a pan axis. First images are captured with the camera throughout the panning. A composite panoramic or circular second image is created by stitching together the first images captured during the panning. The user is enabled to select and modify presets, recordings, and/or video analytics profiles within the composite panoramic or circular second image.
