PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)

PTZ Settings

To use the camera's digital pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) functionality, check the Enable digital PTZ box and click Save. Select the
maximum zoom rate from the Max zoom drop-down list. The selected zoom rate also determines the resolutions available for
video streams. Increasing the maximum zoom rate decreases the maximum resolution that can be selected under Video >
Video Stream > Image and used for Stream Profiles.
Lock to current position - When finished configuring the PTZ settings, check this box to prevent further modification of the
settings. Note that preset positions and guard tours will be disabled.

Preset Positions

A preset position is a pre-defined camera
view that can be used to quickly steer the
camera to a specific location.
From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt
and Zoom controls to steer the camera view
to the required position. When satisfied with
the camera's position, enter a descriptive
name. Click Add to save the camera position
as a preset position.
The position can be assumed at any time by
selecting the preset's name from the Preset
position's drop-down list. Preset positions
can be selected on the Live View page and
in Guard Tours.
One position can be set as the Home position, which is readily accessible by clicking the Home button in both the Preset
Position Setup window and the Live View window. The position's name will have (H) added, for example, Entrance (H). The
camera will always return to the Home position after the time specified in the Return to home after field. Setting the time to
'0' prevents the camera from automatically returning to the Home position.

Guard Tour

A guard tour moves between chosen Preset Positions, one-by-one in a pre-determined order or at random, and for
configurable time periods. The guard tour sequence will keep running after the user has logged off or closed the browser.
