Controlling a Pan/Tilt/Zoom
Camera
You can easily aim or zoom any
camera that supports Pan-Tilt-Zoom
operation.
Initial Set Up: PTZ cameras must be
identified and properly set up. Details:
Step 1b: Define Cameras (under "Initial Set
Up of: Views, Maps, Cameras", to follow).
User Permissions: Only one person can
control a specific PTZ camera (COM port) at
a time. Who will get access is based on:
 The username assigned to the camera
during initial set up;
 PTZ user priorities defined at the capture
station (for each PTZ username).
Event-triggered 'camera-views': Control of
PTZ cameras is not supported in event-
triggered 'camera-views'--although you can
use a 'view' that contains the specific camera
(or a link to the camera) to access PTZ
control.
Steps:
1) Open the 'View' that contains the
desired camera-image.
MyTools Bar: Visual Director (+User login if
prompted). Tree: Control & Status, Panel
