Tilt bar (relative)

The exact controls shown depend on the make and model of PTZ device. There may be Focus and Iris bars available as well, but the most common controls are:

•the Pan bar - moves the camera to the right and left

•the Tilt bar - tips the camera up and down

•the Zoom bar - zooms the view in and out. Note that this is only available if the camera is fitted with a zoom lens.

Clicking on the bars or on the arrows at the end of the bars will move the camera to a new position. The type of movement and the location of this new position depends on the type of PTZ driver.

When controlling the camera using a relative PTZ driver (see the bars in the illustration above) the new position is relative to the previous position, for example, left of, below, above. Clicking the bar further from the center results in a larger movement.
