3.2.4. PTZ Operation
To use a PTZ camera, the channel which is connected to a PTZ camera should be in full-screen
mode. To activate PTZ control, right-click and select PTZ in the pop-up menu. When in PTZ
mode, will appear on the bottom-right corner of the screen.
PTZ Control
In PTZ mode, the user can control the PTZ camera using
the USB mouse. While pressing the left button, drag the
mouse cursor up/down or left/right to move the camera’s
pan/tilt position. The further away from the center the
mouse’s cursor moves, the faster the PTZ camera will
move.
To move the camera to a preset position, click the preset
position number at the bottom of the screen to move the
camera accordingly. The presets must be set before selection.
NOTE
Full PTZ functions are available by using the USB mouse or keyboard controller. The
availability of functions depends on the camera. Consult the camera’s manual for
more information.

mode is changed to “Focus”, the camera’s focus can be controlled by
rolling the wheel of the mouse.

corresponding preset position. The maximum Preset number supported is 255.
