RUNNING PTZ FUNCTIONS
Clicking on the Page Switch button in the PTZ Control Panel (Picture 5-6) will switch to a
new window (Picture 5-12) which allows you to activate the functions created above as well
as the Auto Pan and Flip functions.
Enter the number of the function you wish to
activate and select the function button to run
that function.
In addition, there are other functions that can
be engaged in this window.
AutoPan - This will cause the camera to
automatically rotate.
Flip - Most PTZ cameras have a mechanical
stop which will prevent the camera
from rotating a full 360°. If the camera
is tracking someone or some thing
and it reaches this stop, pressing Flip
will bring the camera around the other
direction to continue tracking. Some
PTZ cameras have “E-flip” which will
do this automatically.
Page Switch - returns you to the PTZ
Control Panel (Picture 5-6)
Reset - This ends the currently running
function.
