This driver provides Video Only, while it may be used for the WPS-500-PTZ-IP it does not provide any PTZ controls. We recommend that this driver not be used with the WPS-500-PTZ-IP.

Note: This Video Only driver is the same as the drivers released for Wirepath Analog DVR channel streaming, so they may be installed already if you have integrated other Wirepath products with Control4 in the past.

This driver provides Video & PTZ Control, while it may be used with the IP Dome, and Bullet, it will show the PTZ controls on the image even though the camera does not have control. We recommend that this driver is used for the WPS-500-PTZIP only.

2. Extract the drivers to Documents>Control4>Drivers. This directory may be different based on the version of Windows used or if it was changed from default by a user.

For IP Cameras or 1-Channel IP Encoders, there is one driver file (Camera 01 or Camera PTZ) that is used to access any one IP Camera/Encoder on the network. If you want to view multiple IP Cameras, simply repeat the instructions below using this same driver each time.

For the 4-Channel IP Encoder, all four drivers (“Camera 01” through “Camera 04”) must be installed and used.
