In the Pan Tilt Zoom Settings page you can enable digital PTZ and create the PTZ preset positions.
Check the Enable digi
tal PTZ box and click Save to enable digital pan/tilt/zoom and PTZ controls in Live View.
Max zoom - Set the maximum possible zoom rate in Live View. Note that by
increasing the maximum zoom rate you will be
decreasing the maximum possible resolution in the Live View Image.
Preset Positions
A preset position is a pre-defined camera
view that can be used to quickly steer the
camera to a specific location.
From Preset Position
Setup, use the Pan,
Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the
camera view to the required position.
When satisfied with the camera's position,
enter a descriptive name and click Add.
The camera position, iris and focus
settings are then saved as a preset
position.
The position can be assumed at
any time
by selecting the preset's name from the
PTZ Preset drop-down list in the Live
View page. Preset positions can be
selected from the Live View page, Event Types, and Guard Tour.
One position can be set as the Home position, which
is readily accessible by clicking the Home button in both the Preset
Positions page and the Live View page. The position's name will have (H) added, for example, Entrance (H).
The network camera can also be configured to return to the Home
position when the camera has been inactive for a specified
length of time. Enter the length of time in the field Return to home after and click Save. Setting the time to zero prevents the
camera from automatically returning to the Home position.
Guard Tour
A guard tour displays the video stream from different preset positions, one-by-one, in a pre-determined order or randomly,
and for configurable time periods. The guard tour will keep running after the user has logged off or closed the browser.
