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 camerasmust be set up individually in theVIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera through a net-
work connection to the VIGIL Server.
Hard-wired PTZcamerasare also set up individually in theVIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera
through a camera input on the VIGIL Server.

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.

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.
Tours
A tour is a cycle of camera presets. Tour settings are stored within VIGIL Server. Tour Settings can be reached by right
clicking within your live viewer, selecting camera control and extending the camera control box. This will reveal your
Tours pane.
