Pressing the (PTZ control) button on the main control panel brings up the PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) window shown in Figure 15. Pressing the arrow button affects the camera position. The Kalatel Cyber Dome camera will perform directed movement when you keep the arrow button pressed. These positions can be saved as user defined template name. You can adjust the camera's position while monitoring the remote location at the same time.
