Foscam 8910W left and right controls via Vera are inverted

daved · December 5, 2014, 2:05am

Anyone encountered this before? If I press left, the camera moves right. If I press right, the camera moves left!

If I control the camera through the Foscam web UI, the controls are correct. If I control the camera through the TinyCam app on my phone, the controls are correct.

How can they be inverted for Vera only?

Thanks@!

Hi Dave,

Please try to go the advanced settings of the camera, on your Vera’s dashboard and look for ReversePan and if the value is 0 ,change it to 1.

Click outside the value editing box, to save the changes and Reload the engine.

If you’re still having issues, I suggest sending an email to support@getvera.com

Im curious how you got your PTZ control. Im using I_FoscamPTZ.xml as my IMPL_FILE
Have camera_full_screen,camera_archive_snapshot,camera_up,camera_down,camera_left,camera_right,camera_preset as camera commands.
No arrows even shows up.
