Language, Info and Maintenance Menus PTZ Controls
Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button. 31
You can bring up the PTZ Setup window by pressing the PTZ button on the
remote control, or by right-clicking the mouse in the live view mode, and
choosing PTZ.
Note: the features which will be usable depend
on the capabilities and limitations of your PTZ system.
Here, you’ll be able to aim the camera, as well as alter aspects of the lens and
iris configuration. We’ll explain a little more about what each of these does:
1. SPEED ADJUSTMENT
By selecting this with the mouse or the arrow
buttons, you are able to change the speed at
which your camera will tilt, pan and zoom. The
higher the number, the faster the camera will
move.
2. ARROW BUTTONS
Used to manually move the camera. The arrow
buttons will move the camera in the selected
direction, and the centre button toggles Auto-
Scan ON and OFF.
3. ZOOM
If you are using a variable zoom PTZ camera, you
can zoom in or out here. Zooming in will increase
the size of objects in view, at the expense of
reducing the field of view. You may need to adjust
focus when using the ZOOM function.
4. FOCUS
Adjusts the focal plane of the lens. If an image
is blurry, try adjusting the focus. To best set the
focus, move one direction until things become
clear, and then blurry again. Move back and forth
until you find sharp focus.
5. IRIS
Controls how much light gets into the camera.
If things look too bright (or white) lower the IRIS
value. If things are too dark (or black) raise the IRIS
value. Many cameras do this automatically.
6. CRUISE SET
Open the CRUISE SETUP screen, see below.

The button will remove all your defined points.

Cruise Mode
To setup CRUISE MODE, you’ll need to define “POINTS” for
each channel with a PTZ camera you want to “cruise”. A
POINT is one place that the camera needs to move to on its
loop.
