3.7 PTZ Camera Controls
Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras allow navigation to an area of interest and are controlled by the user from the Live Viewer window.
There are three major types of Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras that exist: digital PTZ cameras, IP PTZ cameras and hard-wired PTZ
cameras.
Digital PTZ camera control allows users to zoom in on a fixed camera and move within the image without controlling the physical
camera itself. Digital PTZ camera control is automatically enabled for all cameras in the live viewer that are not assigned to any
other type of camera control. To disable or re-enable the control, right-click the camera in the live viewer, and then select Digital
PTZ.The live digital PTZ control works in single-view, multi-view and full-screen mode.
IP PTZ cameras must be set up individually in the VIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera through a network con-
nection to the VIGIL Server.
Hard-wired PTZ cameras are also set up individually in the VIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera through a camera
input on the VIGIL Server.
This is a menu of all the PTZ cameras configured on the
VIGIL Server. Select a camera to load for control.

Pan-Tilt
Use the mouse to click-
and-drag the blue dot in
the middle of the Pan-Tilt
control in the desired direc-
tion. 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 can-
not 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 Joystick is attached, this button will be available. Once clicked, it
opens the Joystick Customizationwindow.
