What’s the difference between PTZ keyboard hardware and PTZ Controller software?

Both PTZ keyboard hardware and PTZ Controller software are used to control PTZ camera.

However, PTZ keyboard hardware supports limited protocols. It’s also much expensive.

PTZ Controller software is dedicated to control PTZ cameras through computer standard keyboard and mouse, as well as joystick.

It supports all functions of PTZ keyboard hardware, such as Pan, Tilt, Focus, Zoom, Iris, Preset, etc.

It supports most popular protocols such as Pelco, Sony, Bosch, Panasonic, etc. It will support more protocols in future.

It can assign meaningful name for presets and cameras instead of just number.

It is capable of sending user-defined Hex data to PTZ camera.

PTZ Controller software also allows you to control multiple PTZ cameras connected with different serial ports on one computer.
