Hybrid Digital Video Recorder
To control Pan/Tilt , click on the green arrow buttons. To control Zoom , click on the Out or In buttons.
To control the speed of the pan/tilt and zoom functions, adjust the Speed slider bar directly below each
feature.
When using cameras that support Focus and Iris , you can also control those features using the PTZ
Controls. You can focus Far or Near, or you can click Auto to activate auto-focus. Similarly, you can
increase the iris setting by clicking Open, reduce it by clicking Close, or activate auto-iris by clicking
Auto.
You can also use the Preset buttons you have setup by clicking on the green, numerical buttons at the
bottom of the PTZ control. For directions on how to setup a Preset button, see
Camera Setup . By rolling
your cursor over the Preset buttons, you can access a tool tip based on the preset name you typed in
when you set up the PTZ camera.
An even more efficient way to access the PTZ Controls is to use the Arrows, Page Up, and Page Down
keys on your keyboard. The arrow keys will move your camera to the left, right, up, and down. Page Up
will zoom in, and Page Down will Zoom Out.
You can also move your mouse roller up and down to zoom in and out. Move your cursor to one of the
corners or edges of the image, and the PTZ control arrows will appear. Click your mouse to pan the
image in the direction of the arrow.
