Controlling the Camera

Obtain camera control privileges before carrying out the

following operations. These operations can be carried out

in both the Admin Viewer and the VB Viewer.

Note

• Operations carried out by clicking or dragging will not be

precise.

• Users operating the camera in the Admin Viewer with the

administrator authorities can control the camera outside the

view restrictions.
Users operating the camera in the Admin Viewer with the

authorized user authorities can control the camera only within

the view restrictions.

• Users operating the camera in the VB Viewer can control the

camera within the view restrictions.

„ Changing the Camera Angle

You can change the angle by doing one of the following:

Use the pan and tilt sliders
The camera angle will change according to the knob

position on the sliders. The knob can also be moved by

clicking on an empty part of the slider.

Click on the video
When you click on the video display area, the camera

angle changes so that the clicked position becomes the

center of the video. If the desired position is not displayed

in the center with one click, align the mouse pointer and

click again until the desired position is displayed in the

center.

Note

In the Admin Viewer, you can also control the pan and tilt with the

camera control button (p. 134).

„ Change the Camera Angle in the Panorama

Display Area

Move by clicking
Clicking a point in the panorama window moves the pan

and tilt to center on that point.

Move by dragging

Dragging the yellow frame lines in the panorama window

moves the pan and tilt to capture that area.

Note

Clicking outside the yellow frame lines and dragging will create

blue frame lines. When you release the mouse button, the blue

lines will turn yellow and the camera will change the pan, tilt and
zoom in order to capture that area.

Important

The estimated pan and tilt operational durability is 50,000 full

cycle operations. For example, 25 full cycles made per day

would result in 6 years of operation.
The focus and zoom may also operate abnormally if the pan

and tilt operational durability estimates are exceeded.

If another user is waiting for control privileges

while you are assigned control privileges,

your remaining time is shown on the control

privilege status indicator.
