Frequently Asked Questions - HC-JOY-G4 HuddleCamHD
How do I connect the HC-JOY-G4 to my PTZ camera?
Use the included USB cable for direct connection if your camera supports USB, or connect via the RS-422/485 screw terminals to the camera's corresponding ports. Ensure the protocol settings match (e.g., Pelco-D or VISCA).
Can I control multiple cameras with one joystick?
Yes, the joystick supports daisy-chaining via RS-485. Assign unique addresses to each camera and use the camera select buttons to switch between them.
Why is the joystick not moving the camera?
Check the power supply (USB or 12V DC), cable connections, and that the camera is powered on. Verify the protocol and address settings on both the joystick and camera. Also ensure the joystick is not in 'menu' mode.
How do I program a preset position?
Move the camera to the desired position using the joystick. Press and hold a preset button (1-0) for 3 seconds until the display confirms 'Preset Saved'. To recall, simply press the preset button briefly.
Is the joystick compatible with non-HuddleCamHD cameras?
Yes, it supports standard PTZ protocols like Pelco-D, Pelco-P, and Sony VISCA. It works with most major brands including PTZOptics, Sony, Panasonic, and others that support these protocols.
Can I use the joystick with a control software like vMix or OBS?
The joystick appears as a generic USB HID device. You can map its buttons and axes using third-party software. However, for PTZ control, direct serial connection to the camera is recommended.
What does the LCD display show?
The top line shows the currently selected camera address (e.g., 'CAM 01'). The bottom line shows operational status, such as 'PAN/TILT', 'ZOOM', or 'MENU'.
How do I change the PTZ protocol?
Enter the menu by holding the 'Menu' button for 2 seconds. Use the joystick to navigate to 'Protocol', then select the desired protocol (e.g., Pelco-D). Save and exit.
Does the joystick require drivers?
No, it is plug-and-play over USB. For serial control, no additional drivers are needed if your PC has a standard serial port or USB-to-serial adapter.
What is the warranty and how to get support?
The HC-JOY-G4 comes with a 1-year limited warranty. For support, visit HuddleCamHD's website or contact their customer service. Spare parts like joystick modules can be ordered through their support portal.
