Display sample:

Monitor screen

There are two modes for on-screen pan/tilt/zoom
operation using a mouse: Area zoom mode and Vector
dragging mode. A control bar is displayed on the screen.
In the Area zoom mode, clicking will pan or tilt the
camera towards the center of the image. The Area zoom
will move the camera in the direction that displays the
area selected by the operator and zooms in at the same
time. The operator can choose a part of the image to
view and zoom in by surrounding the area with a frame
by dragging the mouse.
In the Vector dragging mode, the camera pans or tilts in
the dragged direction. How long you drag the mouse
determines the speed. Releasing the button on the mouse
after dragging stops the panning or tilting of the camera.
You can also use the tool bar to pan or tilt.
The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available
in all modes.

Using Solid PTZ function
You can operate the camera by using the Solid PTZ

SNC-DH140), 1920×1080 or 1920 ×1440
(SNC-CH240/SNC-DH240/CH280/DH280)
(page 37)), without moving the camera. There are three

dragging mode and PTZ Control bar. You can control
pan/tilt and zoom in either mode.
