axis-ptz-camera

nodejs client for axis network ptz functions using digest authentication

Getting Started

npm i axis-ptz-camera

Examples

example for relative pan 50 degree

var Axis = require('axis-ptz-camera/Axis');
var axis = new Axis("host","username","password",{'camera'='1'});

axis.ptz.rpan('50').then(async (res)=>{
    console.log(res);   //true    
})

example for relative pan 50 degree and waiting for reach position

var Axis = require('Axis');
var axis = new Axis("host","username","password",{'camera'='1'});

axis.ptz.rpan('50').then(async (res)=>{
    console.log(res);   //true 
    axis.ptz.reachPos().then((reached) => {
        console.log(reached)  // true when reached
    })
})
