The PTZ control panel is displayed automatically in the right-hand part of the screen when the viewing tile of a PTZ camera is activated in Live Video mode.

The PTZ control panel is displayed only if the PTZ object for the particular video camera is enabled (see the section titled The PTZ object).

 

The PTZ control panel is used for the following functions:

  1. Controlling PTZ video cameras.
  2. Setting and switching to camera presets.
  3. Launching/stopping PTZ tours.
  4. Launching/stopping patrolling.

The PTZ control panel includes the following interface elements:

  1. Presets list.

  2. PTZ tours list.

  3. Dialer.

  4. PTZ controls for iris, focus, and optical zoom.

    If a camera does not support a function, the controls for this function cannot be accessed.


  5. Virtual 3D joystick.

    The type of virtual 3D joystick and adjustment scale depend on the type of PTZ cameras: discrete or continuous control of Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus, and Iris.


  6. Patrol button.
Use of the dialer, PTZ controls, joystick, and patrol button is described in the section Controlling a PTZ Camera.
