6.5 PTZ Camera Controls

Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras allow navigation to an area of interest and are controlled by the user from the Live Viewer window.
There are three major types of Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras that exist: digital PTZ cameras, IP PTZ cameras and hard-wired PTZ
cameras.
Digital PTZ camera control allows users to zoom in on a fixed camera and move within the image without controlling the physical
camera itself. Digital PTZ camera control is automatically enabled for all cameras in the live viewer that are not assigned to any
other type of camera control. To disable or re-enable the control, right-click the camera in the live viewer, and then select Digital
PTZ.The live digital PTZ control works in single-view, multi-view and full-screen mode.
IP PTZ cameras must be set up individually in the VIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera through a network con-
nection to the VIGIL Server.
Hard-wired PTZ cameras are also set up individually in the VIGIL Server settings and control the physical camera through a camera
input on the VIGIL Server.
