This is a plugin for Galicaster that allows to control a remote camera from Galicaster GUI.

Right now, the plugin works with the following cameras:

• Sony:

  • EVI-H100S/100V cameras, using an implementation of VISCA protocol in python.

• Panasonic:

  • AW-HE50
  • AW-HE120
  • AW-HE60
  • AW-HE130
  • AW-HE40
  • AW-HE65
  • AW-HE70
  • AW-UE7

This plugin can be installed as a deb package or through pip installer:

• To generate deb package

  In repository root folder execute sudo py2deb -r pathtorepo .

  -r pathtorepo path to store deb files

  This will create the plugin deb package and debs for dependences. By default packages are stored in /tmp folder.

• To install with pip

  In the repository root folder execute sudo pip install or execute python setup.py sdist to generate a .tar package installable from pip

Galicaster controls the camera using the serial port, so we need to add the user galicaster to the group dialout, as follows (otherwise galicaster would need root privileges):

sudo usermod -a -G dialout galicaster

The following lines must also be added to the conf.ini file so that the plugin runs properly: :: [plugins] cameracontrol = True

[cameracontrol] path = /dev/ttyUSB0 zoom_levels = 7 max_speed_pan_tilt = 0x18 camera = sony_evi_h100s_100v

Add to the conf.ini: :: [plugins] cameracontrol = True

[cameracontrol] path = 192.168.0.10 zoom_levels = 49 max_speed_pan_tilt = 49 camera = panasonic_aw_he40
