Remote view setup (PTRZ)
Remote view setup lets you complete the installation of your camera without physically accessing it. You adjust the live view through
the web interface. The different movements are:
Pan - moves the camera side to side
Tilt - moves the camera up or down
Roll - rotates the lens about its center
Zoom - makes the image larger and nearer, or smaller and further away
View area
A view area is a cropped part of the full view. You can stream and store view areas instead of the full view to minimize bandwidth
and storage needs. If you enable PTZ for a view area, you can pan, tilt and zoom within it. By using view areas you can remove parts
of the full view, for example, the sky.
When you set up a view area, we recommend you to set the video stream resolution to the same size as or smaller than the view area
size. If you set the video stream resolution larger than the view area size it implies digitally scaled up video after sensor capture,
which requires more bandwidth without adding image information.
Capture modes
A capture mode is a preset configuration that defines how the camera captures images. The selected mode can affect the maximum
resolution and maximum frame rate available in the device. If you use a capture mode with a lower resolution than the maximum,
the field of view might be reduced. The capture mode also affects the shutter speed, which in turn affects the light sensitivity – a
capture mode with a high maximum frame rate has a reduced light sensitivity, and vice versa. Note that with certain capture modes
you might not be able to use WDR.
The lower resolution capture mode might be sampled from the original resolution, or it might be cropped out from the original, in
which case the field of view could also be affected.
The illustration shows how pan, tilt, and roll affect the live view.
