2 Basic Operation and Configuration
Pan/Tilt Home
This button causes the camera to go to the Home position. To set a new Home position,
hold the button for approximately 3 seconds.
Go to Preset
The PT-Series HD camera can have a set of predetermined pan/tilt locations, each of which
is known as a preset. For example, a preset may be set for each of the locations where
security surveillance is most needed, a gate, doorway, and other points of access.
When the Go to Preset button is selected, the keypad changes to a numeric
keypad.
To cause the camera to go to a predefined location view (Preset) select a
number.
Use the back ( ) arrow to return to the Control Panel.
2.4 Camera Configuration
The following procedures describe how to do the most common camera configuration steps, such as
setting the camera IP address and hostname and changing the user passwords. To make these
changes, it is necessary to log in using the admin account.
Note
2.4.1 Expert and Admin Accounts
When a user logs in as expert or admin, additional menus, Setup
and Maintenance are available. The Setup menu is used to make
advanced adjustments to the thermal camera, the daylight camera,
and the pan/tilt platform.
The basic camera configuration steps are accessed through the Maintenance > Server menu, using
the menus on the left side of the page. The LAN Settings, Services, and Security Options
selections are described below (
Maintenance Menu, pg. 32). The expert login has access to the
Server pages. The admin login provides access to all configuration options. The login passwords
should be changed (admin login required) to prevent unauthorized access.
In most installations, the only camera settings needed are available from the Live Video page
(using Scene Presets or Polarity). Use caution when modifying the camera settings described in
this section. Some settings may adversely affect the thermal image over time or may completely
disable the camera or the network interface.
