Figure 18: Checking the PTZ Channel.

Once the channel is set properly and matches the camera channel on the Base Station and the channel
sticker on the back of the PTZ unit, the joystick will pan and tilt the camera. The Mobile DOG Base
Station does not currently support diagonal movements, so pointing the joystick in a diagonal direction
will cause either a pan or tilt to occur – whichever motion is received first. Twist the joystick
clockwise to zoom in and counterclockwise to zoom out. The NEAR and FAR buttons on the joystick
will focus the PTZ camera. If a DOG thermal camera is mounted to the PTZ unit then the OPEN and
CLOSE buttons on the joystick will toggle the video display between the two cameras.

Alignment of Cameras

Camera alignment is accomplished by having a person at the camera loosen the thumb screw (as seen
in the first image of the figure below) on the tripod and move the camera around while a person
viewing the camera on the monitor communicates alignment instructions. If you have the optional
BNC viewing port and field monitor connect it up as seen in the second and third images. Once the
camera is aligned properly lock it down with the thumbscrew as seen in the first image.
