PTZ Controls
You must have already connected and set up one or more PTZ cameras as described in
Chapter 6 PTZ Cameras in the User Manual before being able to use this function. This
control panel operates just like the PTZ controls on the NVR itself.
While you can refer to 6.2 PTZ Control and
Setup in the User Manual for instructions
on general PTZ operation, there are a couple
of features in this control panel that should
be noted:
The arrow button at the bottom of the control
panel will show or hide the controls for
utilizing presets, tours and etc.

Selecting PTZ Set will open a window
(Picture 3-27) which will allow you to set up
new presets, tours and other PTZ commands
in a similar manner as on the NVR itself.
Picture Controls
This control panel combines two tabs which allow you to control the appearance of the
on-screen images (Color tab) as well as set the location where downloaded image and video
files will be saved (More tab).

The color controls will only affect the screen
view that is highlighted in green in the Real-
Time Monitor window. They are, in order:
Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation and
are adjusted by moving the respective slider.
Selecting Reset will revert the settings to their
defaults.
Pic Path and Rec Path both operate in the
same manner in allowing you to set where
downloaded still images and recorded videos,
respectively, will be saved on your hard drive.
Clicking either will open a Set Path box
(Picture 3-30). You can navigate to the
desired save location as you would saving
any file on the computer using the Browse
option.
Videos will be saved as .dav format and will need to be converted using the included General
Player software. Still images will be saved as .jpg files which can be viewed my most image
viewing programs. Videos and still images can be saved in the same folder or in different
areas of the computer depending on your preference.
Reboot will attempt to restart the computer. It will not work if you do not have administrator
privileges on that computer or if there is another local user logged into the computer.
