Locking the control of a PTZ camera

Main window >

You can lock the control of a PTZ camera for other users. A user with a higher priority can take

over the control and lock the camera control. A timeout can be configured for this explicit PTZ

locking. If you only take over the control without manually locking it before, the control is

locked for the user with lower priority for 5 seconds.

To lock a PTZ control:

1. Select one of the following items:

– Image pane with PTZ camera

– PTZ camera in the Logical Tree

– PTZ camera in the Favorites Tree

– PTZ camera in the Map window

2. Right-click the Image pane or the PTZ camera and click Lock.

The users with lower priorities cannot use the PTZ control any longer. On their displays a

corresponding message box is displayed.

To stop the locking of the PTZ control, right-click the Image pane or the PTZ camera and

click Unlock.

The locking ends automatically after a configured time period or when you log off.
