PAN-TILT-ZOOM (P.T.Z.) CAMERA OPERATION

If you have a PTZ camera connected to a system you are monitoring, you can control it using

the interface on the right side of the Control Center Operation Interface. These controls

operate in the same manner as those on your DVR, giving you the ability to position the

camera, adjust the zoom, focus and light level.

Directional controls - rotates the dome in the direction indicated by

the arrow with the central button stopping the dome.

Rotation Speed - This slider adjusts the dome’s speed.

Iris - Increase or decrease the amount of light entering the lens

Zoom - Zoom in (+) or out (-)

Focus - Adjust the focus of the lens to give the clearest image.

Select Preset - This drop-down allows you to direct the camera to

any previously conﬁgured location.

Select Cruise - This drop-down instructs the camera to begin a tour

of pre-set locations.

PTZ preset locations and cruises must be conﬁgured on the DVR itself or remotely using the

WebClient plug in on Internet Explorer. CMS can only be used to access these settings but

not to program new ones.

ALARM DISPLAY

This area below the Preview Window shows alarms (events) as they happen. It will display the

type of event (motion detection, video loss, etc.), the name of the system recording it, which

camera triggered the alarm as well as the time.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

clicking on the System Conﬁg button at the

lower right of your screen.

This will take you back to the Control

systems to monitor.
