4.1.2 Control the camera
The icons on the left hand side of the screen allow you to control the camera’s movements, reverse or mirror the
image (e.g. if the camera is mounted on the ceiling), and adjust video parameters, such as resolution, brightness, etc.
The camera supports 16 preset points. When the camera is in a position you often check (e.g. pointing at a
doorway), you can Set this as a preset point. When the camera is pointing to a different place, you can then Call this
preset for the camera to point in the desired direction automatically.
Click to control the IR LEDs mode. In Auto mode, they will turn on automatically when the ambient light is low.
In some instances, this can lead to a poor picture as the ambient light is not low enough for the camera’s night vision
to be fully effective. If this is the case, you can switch the LEDs to Forced Closed mode.

You can add several cameras to your system, as per section 3.5.1. Using the icons on the right hand side of the

controls to that camera.
