    Left click and without releasing the mouse button, set the PTZ direction. The arrow on the screen will show the direction and the angle of the PTZ. Release the button to complete the action.

    Left click to zoom in, right click to zoom out.

    You can also change the zoom level with the mouse wheel.


Furthermore, you can make use of a special panel in the camera control view window:

  • 1, 2, ..., 9 – presets buttons. A preset is a saved camera position. A total of 9 presets can be created for a camera. Presets are created using the camera control menu.
  • Patrol – enables a mode in which the camera position changes in sequence according to a previously prepared schedule. Each patrol point is defined by a preset (camera position), how long the camera position should be maintained, and the speed with which the camera should be moved to the next point. Patrol points are defined in the camera control menu.

Tip

The patrol mode will remain in effect until the operator manually changes the camera's position or selects a preset.
