Tilt range is limited within –5 ° to 90 ° if OFF is selected. If ON is selected it widens the range up to 190 ° with the digital flip that reverses horizontal and vertical scan- ning when the camera is tilted beyond 90 ° point (Downright position if the camera is installed on a ceil- ing). Tilt range narrows from –5 ° to 90 ° if PAN LIMIT is set to ON.

Note:

When trying to set preset positions directly from the WV-CU360 System Controller for the first time while the camera is tilted beyond 90 ˚, the INHIBIT indica- tion will be displayed on the monitor screen.
