A camera with pan/tilt/zoom is placed outside the hutch. It has the capability of moving to a position that would provide a view to keyboards and monitors.
Requesting a move of the camera would not affect other users of the system or interrupt data collection.
In Blu-Ice the devices allowing camera movement are configured with 'Staff' permissions set at the 'Passively Accessible' level as shown in Table 15. No permissions are enabled for the 'scientists'. Table 16 shows the capabilities that a user has while issuing commands to this device.
