If PTZ control through joystick is too fast, you can limit the speed by editing the acc.ini file.
1. Edit %appdata%\Aimetis\acc.ini and change the following parameters with the default values:
[joystick]
maxpan=100
maxtilt=100
maxzoom=100
pollinterval=100
deadzone=20
• maxpan, maxtilt, and maxzoom values can range from 0 to 100
• pollinterval values are in milliseconds
• deadzone value is a percentage of physical x, y, and z range
2. If response is too sensitive, try lowering the values.
3. Save the acc.ini file and restart Symphony Client for the changes to take effect.
