PTZ Camera Control Center Software (Windows) (2024)

PTZ Control Center is one of the best free software-based controllers to use with Panasonic PTZ network cameras. It provides robotic camera operators access to a multitude of remote PTZ camera operations in a single, clean, easy to use package. The PTZ Control Center software provides centralized network camera access and control, enabling PTZ camera operation, settings / image adjustment, preset management, streamlined camera data migration, user management and more.

With the PTZ Control Center software, cameras can be operated using your mouse, keyboard shortcuts, a touchscreen, and even with compatible joysticks / game controllers. PTZ Control Center software can serve as your primary robotic camera control option or as an advanced back-up controller. It is available for download free of charge, and can be used to control one or many Panasonic PTZ cameras from a single Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 computer.

Setting up Panasonic PRO PTZ cameras on a network has never been easier. PTZ Control Center software integrates the same functionality found in the EASY IP Setup Software, searching / automatically detecting the cameras present on the network and allowing the user to configure the camera's network settings, such as IP address and port number, right on the camera discovery page.

Easily control multiple Panasonic PTZ cameras from your computer with this powerful camera control software. It allows you to remotely operate the cameras present on your network.

With the PTZ Control Center software, users can control basic robotic camera movements such as PTZ (pan / tilt / zoom) directly from their computer, as well as make camera image quality adjustments such as focus, iris, gain, white balance, shutter, and ND filter. These camera movements and image adjustments can be made for a single remote camera or simultaneously (pan / tilt / zoom / focus / iris only) for multiple cameras in the same setting.

Additionally, PTZ camera image adjustments can be toggled between manual and automatic settings. The camera settings section offers quick access to Auto Focus (AF), Auto Iris, Auto White Balance (AWB), and Auto Black Balance (ABB).

The PTZ Control Center software features an intuitive layout, making it easy-to-use and understand for seasoned or first-time robotic camera operators. The main camera settings screen mimics the familiar web interface of Panasonic PTZ cameras, while the camera controller screen is designed for quick access to camera controls, presets and image settings. The main camera interface can be adjusted to the users viewing or operating preference, with the ability to view up to 16 cameras on a single page.

The software allows users to view a full-screen live image from a selected PTZ camera via H.264 streaming for a high-quality reference.

Administrators can easily manage access to the PTZ cameras deployed on a network by utilizing the PTZ Control Center software as a centralized remote camera management tool. Access to the PTZ Control Center software is password protected, but it allows administrators to manage their authorized users. The available program functionality and accessible cameras can then be further restricted for each individual user.

To simplify the process of multiple remote camera system deployments, the PTZ Control Center software enables the user to save and export copies of the setting data for quick sharing between multiple PCs. Simply export the settings data from one system and import it on another to quickly migrate your setting data. This can also serve as a backup for a single installation.
