Using Nextiva Review to Configure the

Nextiva S5500 PTZ Series

Nextiva Review supports pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) functionality for live video when a

PTZ camera is selected in Live mode. You can control PTZ cameras through

Review by using the Heads Up Display (HUD) control panel and the PTZ toolbar.

The PTZ toolbar contains the buttons used to control a PTZ camera in the

Review workspace.

Note

If external CCTV keyboards are installed, they can also be used to control PTZ

cameras. In this case, you might see the camera move around in Review

without providing any input through the Review interface.

► To display the PTZ toolbar

In the application tabs, click Live .

2. In the left pane, navigate to the PTZ camera you want to access.

Pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) camera

PTZ camera with audio

3. Display live video from the camera using one of these methods:

Drag the required camera from the camera tree into a tile in the

workspace. The video opens in the selected tile and starts playing live

video images.

Double-click the camera name in the camera tree. The video opens and

starts playing in the next available tile. If all video tiles are full, the

newly selected camera replaces the item in the currently active tile.

4. Click the video tile for the PTZ camera to display the PTZ toolbar.

Note

If your user account does not have privileges to control PTZ cameras, the

PTZ toolbar does not appear. You can use the controls on the regular video

tile toolbar as if the camera was a fixed (non-PTZ) camera.
