You can bring up the PTZ Control window by pressing the PTZ button on the remote
control, or by right-clicking the mouse in the live view mode, and choosing PTZ. The
PTZ control window is not available while Cruise Mode is active.
Note: the features which will be usable depend
on the capabilities and limitations of your PTZ system.
Here, you’ll be able to aim the camera, as well as alter aspects of the lens and iris
configuration. We’ll explain a little more about what each of these does:
1. CHANNEL SELECTION: Select which channel’s
PTZ device you wish to control. Depending on
your PTZ Configuration settings, this may or
may not be the same as the PTZ Command
Address.
2. ARROW BUTTONS: Used to manually move
the camera. The arrow buttons will move the
camera in the selected direction, and the
centre button toggles Auto-Scan ON and OFF.
3. HOME: The HOME button will send the camera
back to its default starting position.
4. ZOOM: If you are using a variable zoom PTZ
camera, you can zoom in or out here. Zooming
in will increase the size of objects in view, at the
expense of reducing the field of view. You may
need to adjust focus when using the ZOOM
function.
5. FOCUS: Adjusts the focal plane of the lens. If
an image is blurry, try adjusting the focus. To
best set the focus, move one direction until
things become clear, and then blurry again.
Move back and forth until you find sharp focus.
6. IRIS: Controls how much light gets into the
camera. If things look too bright (or white)
lower the IRIS value. If things are too dark (or
black) raise the IRIS value. Many cameras do
this automatically.
7. SPEED ADJUSTMENT: By selecting this with the mouse or the arrow buttons,
you are able to change the speed at which your camera will tilt, pan and zoom.
The higher the number, the faster the camera will move.
8. PRESET POINT COUNT: The total number of preset points currently defined.
