Camera Positioning
Although very similar, the navigational functionality is slightly different for each of the available
pan tilt drivers. The table below describes the basic positioning methods, and the level to which
these are supported by the drivers available from the Administration pages:
Camera Zoom
In a fashion similar to that provided for positional control, the degree of camera zoom is controlled
by clicking a scaled toolbar that represents the full tele-zoom potential for the selected device.
Click the left or right arrows within the toolbar for stepped increases for Wide and Tele zoom
respectively. Clicking anywhere along the toolbar gently adjusts the level of camera zoom by a
variable value predetermined by the device.
Note:
Variable zoom control is not supported by the Pelco and Ernitec drivers.
Assuming Preset Positions
To enable quick and accurate camera positioning to known camera hotspots, the Administrator(s)
can create up to twenty Preset Positions that can be reinstated at any time by the users.
Choosing a preset position from the drop-down dialog immediately causes the selected camera to
assume the predefined orientation.
