Using Avonic PTZ Cameras with Bosch Dicentis Conferencing Systems
Avonic PTZ cameras are commonly integrated into conferencing setups and controlled via third-party systems such as MVI, Televic, Bosch, and cMeets by Arbor.
This article provides guidance on optimizing Avonic cameras in combination with Bosch Dicentis conferencing systems.

Camera Control and Optimization
This article focuses on camera positioning, zooming, and focusing settings. For recommendations on video quality, exposure, and color settings, refer to General Camera Recommendations and Settings.
Ensuring Accurate Camera Control
Cameras in conferencing setups should be under strict control to prevent errors in interpretation. For example, if someone walks through the scene, autofocus might mistakenly adjust, leaving the speaker out of focus. To prevent such issues, the camera should be given clear, precise commands.
The recommended approach is to store the following settings within internal camera presets:
- Pan, tilt, and zoom position
- Manual focus mode
- Manual focus position
Using the Web GUI for Configuration
The screenshot above shows the Web GUI homepage (use an incognito browser window for best results). Here, you can position, zoom, and focus the camera as needed and store these settings as presets.
The Web GUI preview is not designed for prolonged use and may display some latency. Refresh the page to minimize any lag.
Additional Security Tip
Disable the IR receiver to prevent unauthorized control of the cameras. This can help avoid unintended changes in camera positioning due to interference, whether accidental or intentional.
