PTZ camera controls become active when the Media tab is selected and the camera selected is a PTZ camera.
The PTZ camera controls are:
• Motion Direction controls (directional arrows) – A mouse click on an arrow moves a PTZ camera in the direction of the
arrow.
• Zoom In – Each mouse click on this control increases the magnication of the camera (which enlarges the view of an object
for more detail) until the maximum focal length of the camera is reached.
• Zoom Out – Each mouse click on this control decreases the magnication of the camera until the minimum focal length of
the camera is reached.
• Focus Near – Each mouse click on this control enhances the sharpness of objects that are close by.
• Focus Far – Each mouse click on this control enhances the sharpness of objects that are far away.
• Open Iris – Each mouse click on this control increases the camera iris (aperture), allowing more light to pass through the
lens. This makes the picture brighter.
• Close Iris – Each mouse click on this control decreases the camera iris, reducing the amount of light passing through the
lens. This makes the picture darker.
• Preset Controls – These controls are used to aim a PTZ camera at a predesignated target. Refer to Using Camera Preset
Controls (PTZ Only) for more information.
