Since there are a ton of cut-outs in the pan/tilt bracket it wasn't too difficult.
The only thing left was to figure out how to mount the swivels onto the bracket in a fashion that would allow the camera to be put back onto the swivels. After taking out a handful of screws, and pulling apart some rather reluctant plastic, I was lucky to find that there were some small metal swivels that I could mount the camera with. I figured that the camera had to be mounted onto it's bracket somehow, so if I could take it out of the current bracket it might make it easier to mount to the pan/tilt bracket. It came on this little mounting swivel so that you can hang it from the top of a monitor. I'm using a Logitech Webcam that we lying around the office. Once the Pan/Tilt Bracket has been assembled we need to find a way to mount the webcam onto the bracket. This will show you how to put the bracket together and install the servos for controlling the bracket's orientation. Start by putting the Pan/Tilt Bracket together using the assembly guide from the product page. There are several pieces for this project that need to be assembled. Arduino Uno (or other 5V Arduino Compatible board).
A video of the final product illustrates the concept a little better than I can explain it. In this tutorial we're going to look at how to use OpenCV, a real time computer vision library, with Processing, Arduino, a webcam and a pan/tilt bracket to create a video that will keep a persons face in the middle of the frame as they walk around the room.
