PTZ Control at a Video Server
After logging in, click the PTZ button
near the bottom-right corner of the
main desktop (a narrow form will
appear on the right). Then, select the camera
number (beneath "model"), and click
[Connect].
Exception: For cameras connected through a
switcher, you'll need to set the [Monitor] value first
(switcher port associated with this camera).
To 'aim' the camera, use the
arrow buttons (click-click-click,
or click-and-hold). To zoom in,
or out, use the arrows marked
"Zoom" (click-and-hold).
To close the PTZ control screen when finished,
right-click the PTZ icon in the top-left corner
(or any blank area) of the form, and select
Exit.

Other PTZ Features
On a remote station, these selections are
provided through a separate 'folder' button
(available when already using the PTZ feature).
To close the screen, click the [X].
Pre-Set Positions: This feature alone may
make you a believer in the value of PTZ
cameras: You can store 20 pan/tilt/zoom
positions and quickly recall them later. This
allows one camera to 'pretend' it's 20 cameras.
To Save a PTZ 'Pre-Set': Set the camera
position as desired, select an available 'pre-
position' number, and click [Set].
Tip: Store the most common/useful ones in the first
4 positions (available through buttons 1-4
thereafter). To check if a pre-set is available, see
the next topic.

To Show a Pre-Set PTZ Position: The first
four positions are available by clicking [1], [2],
[3], or [4]. For any pre-set position (1-20),
select (or enter) the position number, and click
[Show].
[Clear Preset]: (If present). Clears all defined
preset positions at once.
Iris
(Close/Open, or Arrows): Allows manually
brightening or darkening the camera image
(iris).
Focus
(Near/Far, or Arrows): Allows manually
adjusting the focus for objects that are closer
vs. farther away.
Tip: This is useful where the camera view is
partially blocked by a nearer object in the frame.
PTZ Speed (Slider Bar): This allows
increasing or reducing the panning speed.
Tip: You can also zoom in using
the magnifying glass.
To set the panning speed, see
"Other PTZ Features", to follow.
