PTZ (Motorized) Camera Control
If a serial device, such as a motorized camera, is attached to the COM port, the control panel will
appear on the main page for user’s who have permission to operate the camera. Buttons that are
active will change color when the cursor is passed over the button. Users can control the pan, tilt,
zoom, and focus functions of motorized cameras. The home button is used to return the camera to
the center position if the camera supports this command. In addition to near and far control for
focus, an AUTO button is provided for setting auto focus mode. To move the motorized camera
more precisely, the speed control for pan and tilt allows users to fine tune the aiming of the camera.
Users can also click directly on any point in the image to force the motorized camera to focus on
that point, or select a preset location from the drop-down menu. Administrators are able to add or
modify the list of preset locations. Details are described in the relevant section in Chapter 4,
System Configuration.
NOTE
For some PTZ cameras, users can click on any position in the image to point the camera to that
position. We currently support this functionality for Pelco-D, Pelco P and Dynacolor DynaDome
PTZ drivers.
