Controlling the Camera
Obtain camera control privileges before carrying out the
following operations. These operations can be carried out
in both the Admin Viewer and the VB Viewer.
Note
• Operations carried out by clicking or dragging will not be
precise.
• Users operating the camera in the Admin Viewer with the
administrator authorities can control the camera outside the
view restrictions.
Users operating the camera in the Admin Viewer with the
authorized user authorities can control the camera only within
the view restrictions.
• Users operating the camera in the VB Viewer can control the
camera within the view restrictions.
Changing the Camera Angle
You can change the angle by doing one of the following:
Use the pan and tilt sliders
The camera angle will change according to the knob
position on the sliders. The knob can also be moved by
clicking on an empty part of the slider.
Click on the video
When you click on the video display area, the camera
angle changes so that the clicked position becomes the
center of the video. If the desired position is not displayed
in the center with one click, align the mouse pointer and
click again until the desired position is displayed in the
center.
Note
In the Admin Viewer, you can also control the pan and tilt with the
camera control button (p. 134).
Change the Camera Angle in the Panorama
Display Area
Move by clicking
Clicking a point in the panorama window moves the pan
and tilt to center on that point.
Move by dragging
Dragging the yellow frame lines in the panorama window
moves the pan and tilt to capture that area.
Note
Clicking outside the yellow frame lines and dragging will create
blue frame lines. When you release the mouse button, the blue
lines will turn yellow and the camera will change the pan, tilt and
zoom in order to capture that area.
Important
The estimated pan and tilt operational durability is 50,000 full
cycle operations. For example, 25 full cycles made per day
would result in 6 years of operation.
The focus and zoom may also operate abnormally if the pan
and tilt operational durability estimates are exceeded.
If another user is waiting for control privileges
while you are assigned control privileges,
your remaining time is shown on the control
privilege status indicator.
