PTZ Control section
PTZ Preset Positions
If preset positions have been defined for the selected PTZ camera, you are able to select such
positions from the Presets list. Selecting a preset position from the list will make the PTZ camera
move to the specified position.
Preset positions are defined by the system administrator; the Presets list will be empty if no preset
positions have been defined for the selected PTZ camera.
IPIX PTZ Positions
You are able to move to a specific position in an IPIX view, and then save that position by clicking
the Save button. When you later want to return to the saved position, click the Load button.
Tip: You may be able to use a joystick for controlling your PTZ cameras. Joystick control is
configured in the Smart Client’s Application Menu; see Further Configuration on page 22. Note that
even though joystick and point-and-click control is supported for a large number of PTZ cameras,
not all PTZ cameras may be controlled this way. Consult your surveillance system administrator if
in doubt; your surveillance system administrator may refer to the surveillance system’s release
note for information about joystick and point-and-click support for PTZ cameras.
