PTZ Controls
You can bring up the PTZ Control window by pressing the PTZ button on the remote control, or by
Note: the features which will be usable depend
on the capabilities and limitations of your PTZ system.
Here, you’ll be able to aim the camera, as well as alter aspects of the lens and iris configuration. We’ll explain a little more about what each of these does:
1.CHANNEL SELECTION: Select which channel’s PTZ device you wish to control. Depending on your PTZ Configuration settings, this may or may not be the same as the PTZ Command Address.
2.ARROW BUTTONS: Used to manually move the camera. The arrow buttons will move the camera in the selected direction, and the centre button toggles
3.HOME: The HOME button will send the camera back to its default starting position.
4.ZOOM: If you are using a variable zoom PTZ camera, you can zoom in or out here. Zooming in will increase the size of objects in view, at the expense of reducing the field of view. You may need to adjust focus when using the ZOOM function.
5.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.
6.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 cameras do this automatically.
