One extremely important thing: make sure you have a fully charged backup battery plugged in. Without it, the camera won't talk, and the servos won't move.

Depending on which way you mounted the camera in the pan/tilt assembly, you might have to change the sign of the pan direction definition in the code. You can tell when this is necessary by seeing the camera "hide" from the light rather than seek it.
