There are two modes for on-screen pan/tilt/zoom
operation using a mouse: Area zoom mode and Vector
dragging mode. A control bar is displayed on the screen.
In the Area zoom mode, clicking will pan or tilt the
camera towards the center of the image. The Area zoom
will move the camera in the direction that displays the
area selected by the operator and zooms in at the same
time. The operator can choose a part of the image to
view and zoom in by surrounding the area with a frame
by dragging the mouse.

the dragged direction. How long you drag the mouse
