PTZ control
TruVision Navigator has the ability to control PTZ camera and motorized zoom cameras
with auto focus feature. Supported features include pan, tilt, and zoom moves, as well
as set and go to presets, and record and go to tours. The tours functionality is only
available for certain device types. See the device-specific chapters for the support for
this feature.
First, the camera must be marked as a PTZ camera in its configuration as the camera
does not identify itself as such to the device. To mark a camera as a PTZ, simply right-
click on the camera and select, Configure Camera. From the camera configuration
dialog, check the PTZ Enabled checkbox, select a PTZ protocol, assign an address, and
click Ok. Ensure the camera also has the appropriate address and protocol settings.
Upon completion, you’ll notice that the camera’s icon in the Navigator changes from a
fixed camera icon to a PTZ camera icon.
Once you have marked a camera as PTZ, you can now control it using the PTZ Controls
or with mouse commands in the video tile.
To control a PTZ camera using the PTZ Controls:
Load the PTZ Camera into the Viewer and select it.
Click the PTZ icon on the Controller toolbar and the PTZ dialog will open. Adjust the
dialog to optimize video viewing.
