1.2.6. PTZ mode
1.2.6.1. Overview
ELMO-PRO software allows controlling the PTZ cameras remotely. Ensure that the correct PTZ Camera type (model) is
selected in Hardware Setup. Depending on the camera type chosen, different features are supported. An RS232 converter
must be used for PTZ control.
PTZ cameras can be controlled from:
1. ELMO-PRO Server (authorized users only)
2. ELMO-PRO Remote (authorized users only)
In the PTZ window the user can:
1. Change the pan-tilt settings
2. Zoom in and out
3. Focus the image
4. Configure the presets, preset touring and patterns
The PTZ window can be controlled with:
1. The buttons in the PTZ Advanced Control panel
2. The Mouse in-cameo function. To do so, click and hold the left mouse button. The user can then move the cursor in
the desired direction and the PTZ camera will follow the mouse cursor.
1.2.6.2. Using the PTZ Mode
In order to use the PTZ mode, make sure the ELMO-PRO software is in with Advanced or Tree view mode. See Menu
section for more information.
To access the PTZ mode, do the following:
1. Locate a PTZ channel on the main ELMO-PRO Server window (Live Mode). PAN/TILT text overlay must be displayed
in the Main Screen. If no PAN/TILT text displayed, the selected camera is either fixed, or is not properly configured
in Hardware Setup. Correct PTZ Camera Type and Cam ID must be entered in the Hardware Setup - Channel Settings.
2. Double-click the video image. Selected channel will be displayed in full screen mode.
3. The PTZ video channel can now be controlled.
• To control the PTZ channel with PTZ control buttons, click the Advanced Control Panel (located in the Control
Center).
• To control the PTZ channel with the in-cameo function, position the mouse cursor within the live view window,
left-click and hold down the mouse button. Move the cursor in the desired direction and the PTZ camera follow
the cursor direction.
