How can I control the pan, tilt, lighting, and other features on a Logitech QuickCam Orbit/Sphere AF webcam?

Question

I have the following code. I'm trying to display the label of the field with LabelFor, but this isn't working.

In my Model

    [Display(Name = "Tour Start Date")]
    [DataType(DataType.Date)]
    [DisplayFormatAttribute(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:d}")]
    public DateTime TourBeginDate { get; set; }

and

<%: Html.LabelFor(m => m.TourBeginDate) %>

but I'm getting:

<label for="TourBeginDate">TourBeginDate</label>

instead of

<label for="TourBeginDate">Tour Start Date</label>

Solution 1

You can try 'guvcview' for pan/tilt control.

Solution 2

Command-line use

To see a complete list of the possible settings for your webcam, do

uvcdynctrl -cv -d /dev/video2

Notice you need to specify the device to use, default=video0, but can also be video1, video2... In my computer for example is video2.

Pan camera

To the left:

uvcdynctrl -d /dev/video2 -s 'Pan (relative)' 1

To the right:

uvcdynctrl -d /dev/video2 -s 'Pan (relative)' -- -

To reset pan:

uvcdynctrl -d /dev/video2 -s 'Pan Reset' 0

And so on...

Graphical use

With viewer

guvcview

Without viewer of during use (with cheese for example)

guvcview -o

OP are you still looking for an answer? If so, you may need to repost your question as this is flagged for closure. =)

Sorry, I mis-typed. That's the one I used. Very odd.

@Dean: Is the label in definition in the model you are using for displaying?

[netwire]

I'd like to display the content within: [Display(Name = "Tour Start Date")]

This is sufficient, but I'm looking for a more elaborate control that what it provides.
