Controlling a PTZ

PTZ Control:

In order to interact with a PTZ camera, you will have to open the PTZ tab. The PTZ tab can be found in the lower left corner of Live View. Basic control of the cameras can be achieved by either using the directional input or by using the mouse simulator. All of the PTZ options are:

• PTZ Menu - Opens the menu that opens/closes the OSD (on screen display) if applicable
• Mouse Simulator - Use a mouse instead of the directional input to control a camera
• Directional Input - Graphical interface for positioning a camera
• 3D Positioning - Located at the center of the directional input, 3D Positioning allows you to zoom into a selected area
• Step - The step slider determines how far the camera moves with one click while using the directional input
• Zoom In/Out - Zooms the camera in or out
• Focus+/- - Manually adjusts the focus of the camera
• Iris+/- - Opens or closes the iris which adjusts the brightness of the image

More advanced options can be found by selecting More Functions:
