Hello Im new to this Forum, and new with OBS studio installed in my window laptop. Im volunteering in my church to stream on YouTube the daily mass. In the Properties Video Capture Device /properties window/ camera control. ijust realized that i could do some cameras controls, but Im wondering if there is a software that would do the same things like zoom and pan ..... instead of using this very sensitive controls in the "camera control window"????? thanks.

Attached is the software I wrote to control our AViPAS 10x cameras via OBS running on Windows via VISCA. You can copy the LUA script to the OBS script directory and then run the exe file. Sorry, there is no manual but we have been using the software every Sunday for months with no problems and it is pretty intuitive. You can move up to five cameras with the controls and then set up to 12 presets plus HOME and select these within OBS by installing a Set Preset source into a scene and choosing the camera and preset that will activate when the scene is either previewed or made active. In the EXE file you can Rename the Cameras and the Presets and those will resync with OBS so the names stay the same in the source items. Digital zoom should work if you click on the +/- rather than move the slide. Setup allows for either Visca over IP or serial ports. I use all IP cameras but I did test them with a serial connection, just change the "Using" column in the setup table to Serial instead of Network and specify the port and camera address if you have them chained. It was designed to work with our setup and has had no testing outside our environment, but you are welcome to try it. You might get lucky and it will work for you. Otherwise there is a Browser Based product out there (not free) that allows you to insert an OBS Browser Object and call a webpage to move a Visca PTZ camera to one of eight presets.

Nice work! I tried this application with no brand china made camera works too.
I have some question:

The lower right button (PTZ button) not working, is there way i can amend ?

Hi,
Glad it works for you. Sorry for the late reply I have been traveling. The on/off for our cameras anyway just turns them on or off. It might not be a generic command or it might be something funny with the code. I'll take a look this week if I get time. The only issue at the moment is that you can get ahead of OBS when making edit changes too quickly and OBS locks up. I think it does not like renaming sources on the fly, but that feature is the only way my techs can read what is going to happen in the scene. "Move Camera3 to Stage Left" is a lot easier than having to check properties all the time.
