Abstract

A pan/tilt camera system includes a sensor spaced from a rotational shaft of a pan/tilt camera, a detected piece rotated with the rotational shaft so as to correspond to the sensor, an origin setting unit rotating the rotational shaft in a first direction upon turn-on of a power and thereafter in a second direction opposite to the first direction so that the sensor detects a rear end of the detected piece for setting an origin, a pulse counter applying a predetermined number of pulses to the motor after set of the origin so that the rotational shaft is continuously rotated in the second direction and counting pulses applied to the motor until a front end of the detected piece with respect to the rotation direction of the detected piece is detected, and a backlash calculating unit comparing a count of the pulse counter with the predetermined number of pulses applied to the motor thereby to calculate an amount of backlash of the drive mechanism.
