Dropdown

Selection Box

This is a menu of all the PTZ cameras configured on the
DVR. Select a camera to load for control.

Shows/hides additional PTZ camera controls.

Pan-Tilt

Use the mouse to click-and-drag
the blue dot in the middle of the
Pan-Tilt control in the desired
direction. The speed at which the
camera moves increases as the dot
is dragged closer to the edge of the
circle.

The alternate directional controls
are displayed when the selected
PTZ camera does not support a full
range of motion (i.e. it cannot pan
and tilt at the same time), or when
the Push-Button Controls option is
enabled.

Zoom/Focus/

Iris

Click-and-drag the appropriate slide bar up to increase or
down to decrease. The speed at which the camera is
adjusted increases as the bar is moved farther from the
center of the control.

Joystick

If a USB PTZ Joystick is attached, this button will be available. Once clicked,
it opens the Joystick Customization window.

This window allows for customization of each of the joystick
buttons. Use the drop-down menus to assign actions to each
button.

To determine which button is which, go into the Windows Control
Panel and select Game Controllers, where the device will be listed.
Select it and click Properties. Click any button on the joystick and
the button number will be highlighted in the resulting window.

Presets

Presets are fixed locations that the camera can save and go to. The presets are stored
within the camera for hard-wired PTZ cameras, and in VIGIL Server for digital PTZ
cameras.

To save a preset, move the camera to the desired preset location, select the preset number from
the drop-down menu and click Save. This will overwrite any presets previously saved to that
number.

To move the camera to an existing preset, select a preset from the drop-down menu and click
Goto, or click the button with the preset number on it.
