PTZ interface. You can control PTZ cameras using the buttons on the front panel
and IR remote control or by using the PTZ control icons on the mouse toolbar. To
enter PTZ mode, you must have PTZ control access privileges.
Note: The DVR 31’s support for Digiplex (UTC RS-422) is limited. As a result,
you may not be able to control Digiplex domes with a multiplexer unless the
camera’s input connects to the output of a keypad.

panel, remote control, or the mouse toolbar). Click PTZ in the mouse toolbar or
press the PTZ button on the front panel or remote control. The PTZ control
interface displays as shown in Figure 13 on page 29.
