you want to store the image file.

5. Click Save.
The snapshot has a resolution of 720x484 pixels in NTSC and 720x576 pixels in
PAL. Authentication information is shown under the image.

Controlling cameras

A user can control controllable cameras by using the mouse on the cameo of the
camera or by using the icons displayed under Camera Controls.
Using the mouse to pan and tilt
1. Click the cameo of the camera you want to control to make it active.
> It must be a controllable camera.
2. Place the pointer on the active cameo (not in the center).
> The pointer arrow indicates the direction in which the camera will move.
3. Click and hold the left mouse button.
> The camera moves in the direction indicated.
> Release the button when the camera is positioned.
4. Alternatively, drag the pointer in the direction you wish to move the camera.
> Move the pointer horizontally to pan the camera and vertically to tilt the camera.
Pan and tilt speed depends on the position of the pointer on the cameo. The
closer to the edge of the cameo you click, the faster the speed; the closer to the
center, the slower the speed.
Using the mouse to zoom in or out
1. To zoom in, place the pointer slightly above the center of the active cameo.
> The pointer changes to a magnifying glass with a plus sign.
2. Click the left mouse button to zoom in.
3. To zoom out, place the pointer slightly below the center of the active cameo.
> The pointer changes to a magnifying glass with a minus sign.
4. Click the left mouse button to zoom out.
Zoom speed also depends on the position of the pointer with respect to the
center of the cameo.
An alternative method of zooming in and out is to use the scroll wheel of your
mouse.
