How to Use Pan/Tilt (for PTZ models only)
Click the pan/tilt controls (shown on the right) to pan/tilt the PTZ
camera.
Other pan/tilt features include:

Auto pan/tilt speed : When “Enabled”, the camera
automatically sets the pan/tilt speed according to the zoom ratio
and the selected pan/tilt speed while retaining the clarity and
quality of image even as the camera is panning or tilting. When “Disabled”, the pan/tilt
speed follows the value selected on the Pan/Tilt Speed field.

Auto-Flip : When “Enabled”, the camera automatically flips the image when the camera
is panned at 180 and then continues panning to the same direction up to 360 . When
“Disabled”, users can only pan the camera to one direction up to 180 .

Pan/Tilt Speed : Select the desired pan/tilt speed. The bigger the number, the faster the
speed is.
TIP: While the PTZ Control Panel is open, instead of using the pan/tilt controls, move the mouse
cursor over the Live View, the mouse cursor will turn into zoom in/out or directional icons
(e.g. / / / / etc.). Click or drag the mouse to zoom in/out or pan/tilt the camera
view.
How to Zoom the Camera In or Out
