Milestone XProtect Remote Client 3.5; User’s Manual
Output Control
If the selected camera has external outputs defined, for
example for switching on lights or sounding a siren, such
outputs can be triggered from the Remote Client. To
trigger an output, first select the required camera in the
view, then select the required output in the Output
Control section, and click the Fire link.
Note: Depending on your user rights, access to triggering outputs for some cameras may be
restricted.
PTZ Control
PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) and fisheye (technology allowing creation and viewing of 360-degree
panoramic images) cameras can be controlled from the Remote Client.
Note: Depending on your user rights, access to PTZ controls from some cameras may be
restricted.
Point-and-Click Control
Many PTZ cameras may be controlled simply by pointing and clicking inside the images from the
camera. If you see a set of crosshairs when placing your mouse pointer over the images from a
PTZ camera, point-and-click control is supported for the camera.
Crosshairs indicate point-and-click control.
For some cameras, crosshairs may look different.
For some cameras, crosshairs surrounded by a square may be displayed. When this is the case,
you are able to zoom in on an area by dragging a square around the required area in the image.
For such cameras, zoom level is controlled by holding down the SHIFT key on your keyboard while
moving the mouse up or down; this will display a zoom level slider inside the image.
PTZ Navigation Buttons
As an alternative to point-and-click PTZ control, use the
navigation buttons in the PTZ Control section to move
the selected PTZ or fisheye camera.
The round middle button lets you quickly move the
camera to its home (i.e. default) position. The plus and
minus buttons lets you zoom in and out respectively.
PTZ Preset Positions
If preset positions have been defined for the selected PTZ camera, you are able to select such
positions from the Presets list. Selecting a preset position from the list will make the PTZ camera
move to the specified position.
