Operator’s Manual
Understanding Your System
This manual describes those features that are available to you as system
operator, and it provides instructions for using these features. It is up to you,
however, to understand these features and apply them in your specific
environment.
Each site and situation has different concerns, capabilities, and
vulnerabilities. Understanding how your system works enables you to
address these concerns and overcome these vulnerabilities.
Use this manual to learn how to customize your system to meet the needs of
your environment. Most importantly, get comfortable using the system. As
you become more familiar with the system's features and functions, the more
competent you will become at securing your site. Once you become
comfortable using the system, you will find it a valuable—and timesaving—
security and management tool.
System Features
This system enables you to oversee activity throughout your facility
as it

. This powerful overview allows you to document activity and can
help you to prevent unwanted activity from taking place.
The system can include either one or two camera controllers, called T
OUCH
T
RACKER
s

two users to operate the system concurrently. As an alternative, a single user
could control both devices at the same time for two-handed operation.
The features available to system operators include:
•
Call up video from individual cameras to any monitor.
•
Control a camera's panning and tilting movements, as well as its zoom,
focus, and iris.

Initiate an “Apple Peel” pattern for a SpeedDome, providing you with
complete video coverage of an area.

°
in the opposite direction from its current view.
