PTZ camera is controlled in accordance with the priority settings (see Creating and configuring roles). If multiple users have the same control priority, they can control a PTZ camera simultaneously.

If the user with higher priority controls the PTZ camera with the the PTZ control panel (as long as the camera is selected) users with a lower priority can not control it.  If the user with higher priority controls the PTZ camera, the relevant information is displayed on the panel.

If you disabled the option to simultaneously control a PTZ camera by multiple users, users with the same priority take over the control on a first-come, first-served basis.

However, a user with equal or higher priority can take over the PTZ control. To do this, click the Take Control button.

If the user that controls the PTZ camera is idle a certain time (see Configuring PTZ control), it is automatically unlocked and the control becomes available to all users.
