Button Function
Video Camera Control
Button operation is dependent upon the features available in the camera that is installed/selected (i.e.;
pan & tilt and auxiliary LED light). Only the buttons that are applicable for the selected camera are
displayed.
Camera "Home" position - The camera's home position is centered in its vertical and horizontal axis.
• When a camera has been moved to other than the home position, after 5 minutes of no movement
the camera will always return to the home position.
Notes
• Additional features can be programmed via TotalConnect 2.0. Check with your installer to see
which features are available.
• In the event that video is lost, frozen or is pixelated and does not automatically reset, tap the
display two times to manually restore the video.
Preset buttons 1, 2, 3, 4 – These buttons are used to quickly drive the camera to a preset watch area.
(Up to 4 preset watch areas can be set.) Select the button to go to the preset watch area. To set a

1, 2, 3, or 4 button three times. The selected button will be highlighted (for around 5 seconds)
confirming that the preset is saved.
