Q26 Hemispheric
Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required
The Q26 can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature
in the integrated Q26 camera soware. The image from the hemispheric camera
can be enlarged using e.g. the mouse wheel, a joystick or a soware-controlled
PTZ panel, and you can “move” the view to any section of the image. This provides
the features of a mechanical PTZ camera without the disadvantages of mainte-
nance and wear.
The vPTZ functionality works dierently depending on the camera operation platform (web
browser, MxManagementCenter). Virtual zoom, pan and tilt using MxManagementCenter is
very simple thanks to special soware tools and the use of an optional joystick. However, a
joystick may also be used even with pure browser-based operation from Internet Explorer
(together with an ActiveX plug-in).
