PTZ MODE

All user levels have access to the PTZ controls to operate and program cameras. PTZ functions can be controlled on the screen in live mode using the mouse. The PTZ control can be used to operate and configure cameras that have been configured for PTZ operation, including those that support Pelco P and Pelco D protocols and third-party dome cameras. Refer to the DX4104 Installation manual and the DX4104 Server Operation/ Configuration manual for more information. Each input channel for a PTZ camera must be configured for PTZ operation before the controls can be used. Refer to PTZ Mode on page 54 for more information.
