REPOSITIONING A CAMERA WITH PTZ CAPABILITIES
If you select a camera that supports pan, tilt, and zoom operations, you can reposition the camera with the joystick. PTZ cameras can be
repositioned to view a wider scene, to view a tighter scene, or to view a scene in a different dir ection. To enter PTZ mode, the on-screen menus
must be turned off. While in PTZ mode, it is not possible to navigate the on-screen menus. A blue border surrounds the video pane when PTZ
mode is on. In addition to controlling a PTZ camera manually from the front panel controls, you can rep osition the camera based on predefined
patterns, presets, and scan operations. Refer to Using Patterns, Presets, and Scans on page42 for more information.
