3.3.4 Accessing a PTZ Camera Menu

PTZ cameras have many functions that can be accessed from their main menu.
When the menu is accessed, the camera inserts the menu information in the out-
going video signal. This allows the user to see the menu on a video monitor (like
the CamView) attached to the camera. If the camera overlays the menu with the
camera image, it may be difficult to see some of the menu settings. In this case
it is advisable to point the camera at a contrasting background before accessing
the menu.

It is beyond the scope of this manual to give instructions on how to set the
camera parameters. The method varies depending on the manufacturer and
the camera. It is up to the user to understand the camera and its settings. The
following is for illustration only. The main menu of the particular camera used
as an example is accessed by preset ‘064’. Other cameras use a different preset
number to access their main menu.

While in the ‘PTZ controller’ mode, press to access the PTZ parameters,
then use and to move the cursor to “Get ps”. Select ‘064’ by using
and . Press to activate the preset. The CamView screen should then
display the camera’s main menu.
