2.6 PAN-TILT-ZOOM CAMERAS
AnalogHD Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras are plug-and-play like other AnalogHD cameras. Unlike
conventional PTZ cameras, they don’t require additional wiring as control signals are sent through the
same wire that carries the camera’s video.
Because of their extra capabilities, they require additional setup to program their movements. These
settings are found in the same window used to control the direction of the PTZ camera. The PTZ
Control window can be reached through either the Navigation Bar (left) or Shortcut Menu (right).

BASIC CONTROLS
The PTZ camera is manually controlled using the
mouse in the PTZ Control window. Clicking and
holding an arrow in the Directional Controls will
move the camera in that direction until the mouse
is released or the physical limits of the camera is
reached (such as elevation).
An alternate way of directing the camera is with the mouse itself (QCN-series cameras only):
1. Click the Mouse icon to the immediate right of the Directional Controls.
2. The PTZ Control window will disappear.
3. Click and drag to point the camera where desired.
4. Right-clicking will return you to the PTZ Control window.
On cameras that support these features, the zoom, focus and iris (light level) can also be adjusted using
the + and - buttons.
