Stop Scan List
This button causes the camera to stop (discontinue) the scan list.
Toggle Video Source
For a multi-sensor system with more than one video source (for example, a PT-Series
camera with a thermal IR camera and a daylight camera), this button causes the "active"
video source to be switched from one camera to the next. If the thermal IR camera is
active and the button is selected, it causes the daylight camera to become active, and vice
versa. This also causes the new active video source to be displayed in the Live Video
window.
Initialize Pan/Tilt
For a long-range multi-sensor system with a pan/tilt platform, this button causes the pan/tilt
to go through its startup initialization. For most pan/tilt security cameras, this button is not
needed since the pan/tilt will initialize automatically. For safety reasons, long-rage systems
with large camera lenses do not initialize automatically, so this button is used.
Pan/Tilt Home
This button causes the camera to go to the Home position. The Home position can be set
using the FSM software.
Autofocus
This button causes the active video source to perform an autofocus operation. If the active
source is a thermal camera with a fixed-focus lens, selecting this button causes an error
message to be displayed below the video window ("Function not available for this driver.").
Function
Some cameras have additional features or functions which can be accessed using an
extra numeric function keypad. It is possible to create customized camera functions
When the Function button is selected, the keypad changes to a numeric
keypad. As digits are selected, they are displayed below the keypad. To
execute the function, select the FN Function button again.
If an invalid function is entered, an error message appears below the video
window ("Function is not available in current mode."). To return to the
Control Panel, select the Back button (left arrow).
Goto Preset
A camera can have a set of predetermined pan/tilt locations, each of which is known as a
"preset". For example, a preset may be configured for each of the locations where security
surveillance is most needed, such as a gate, doorway, and other point of access.
