Pan/Tilt/Zoom

If you have a Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) device connected to your camera, this can be controlled directly from the image display in Windows Explorer. The mouse is used to perform the following operations:

•To center the image, click anywhere in the image.

•To return “Home” double- click the wheel or middle (third) button on the mouse. Alternatively, right-click and select PTZ Home from the context menu.

•To zoom in or out, scroll with the mouse wheel.

•To go to maximum zoom (zoom in) press Ctrl + double-click the wheel or middle (third) button.

•To go to minimum zoom (zoom out) press Shift + double-click the wheel or middle (third) button.

Zooming in and out is done via "relative zoom", which means that this operation cannot be performed on video servers/cameras that do not support relative zoom.
