PAN /TILT / ZOOM OVERVIEW
The PTZ controls within the recorder allow you to control PTZ cameras without accessing them directly. This can increase the usefulness
of your recorded video. Using the PTZ controls, you can create custom preset configurations that can continuously sweep across large
areas.
Note These instructions are for use with Analog PTZ cameras only. For IP PTZ cameras, please refer to the PTZ Camera Setup
section of this manual.
Note PTZ setup and control is only available for supported video encoders with a PTZ RS-485 pass-through.
