4. FOCUS
Adjusts the focal plane of the lens. If an image is blurry, try adjusting the focus. To best set the focus, move one direction until things become clear, and then blurry again. Move back and forth until you find sharp focus.
5. IRIS
Controls how much light gets into the camera. If things look too bright (or white) lower the IRIS value. If things are too dark (or black) raise the IRIS value. Many cam- eras do this automatically.

To setup CRUISE MODE, you’ll need to define “POINTS” for each channel with a PTZ camera you want to “cruise”. A POINT is one place that the camera needs to move to on its loop. To set a point:
•Move the camera to the desired position using the arrows.
•Hit the SET button.
•The point will be saved. Its name will be one digit higher than the previous point.
•For easy cruise setup, define your points in the order you want the camera to view them.
The GOTO button will take the camera back to a predefined point. The CLEAN button will remove all your defined points.
When you’ve set your points, select SAVE, then EXIT.
