PTZ video camera can be controlled with the PTZ Control Panel or directly in the Viewing Tile (see Controlling a PTZ Video Camera in the OnScreen PTZ Mode, Control using Areazoom, Control using Point&Click).
The user gains access to this panel when the viewing tile of a video camera in Live Video mode that supports a PTZ control interface is selected.
Attention!
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 for a certain time (see Configuring PTZ control), it is automatically unlocked and the control becomes available to all users.
The following actions can be performed using the PTZ device control panel:
- Use presets.
- Modify the parameters of the iris, focus, and optical zoom.
- Modify the horizontal and vertical tilt angle of the video camera.
- Starting/stopping patrol mode.
Note
Setting presets is described in detail in the section The PTZ Control Panel.
When you exit the PTZ device control panel, it will be automatically switched to the default preset if the Home preset timeout field value is different than 0 (see The PTZ Object).
