3.7 PTZ Camera Controls
Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras allow navigation to an area of interest and are controlled by the user from the
Live Viewer window. There are three major types of Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras that exist: digital PTZ
cameras, IP PTZ cameras and hard-wired PTZ cameras.
Digital PTZ camera control allows users to zoom in on a fixed camera and move within the image without
controlling the physical camera itself. Digital PTZ camera control is automatically enabled for all cameras in the
live viewer that are not assigned to any other type of camera control. To disable or re-enable the control,
right-click the camera in the live viewer, and then select Digital PTZ. The live digital PTZ control works in
single-view, multi-view and full-screen mode.
IP PTZ cameras must be set up individually in the DVR settings and control the physical camera through a
network connection to the DVR.
Hard-wired PTZ cameras are also set up individually in the DVR settings and control the physical camera
through a camera input on the DVR.

Use the mouse to click-and-drag
the blue dot in the middle of the
Pan-Tilt
control in the desired
direction. The speed at which the
camera moves increases as the dot
is dragged closer to the edge of the
circle.
The alternate directional controls
are displayed when the selected
PTZ camera does not support a full
range of motion (i.e. it cannot pan
and tilt at the same time), or when
the Push-Button Controls option is
enabled.
Click-and-drag the appropriate slide bar up to increase or
down to decrease. The speed at which the camera is
adjusted increases as the bar is moved farther from the
center of the control.
