Controlling a PTZ camera
PTZ mode lets you to control the PTZ operation of the cameras using a TVR 30 PTZ
interface. You can control PTZ cameras using the buttons on the front panel and IR
remote control or by using the PTZ control icons on the mouse toolbar. To enter PTZ
mode, you must have PTZ control access privileges.
Note:
The TVR 30’s support for Digiplex (GE RS-422) is limited. As a result, you may not
be able to control Digiplex domes with a multiplexer unless the camera’s output
connects to the input of a keypad.
Accessing PTZ mode

remote control, or the mouse toolbar). Click PTZ in the mouse toolbar or press the PTZ
button on the front panel or remote control. The PTZ control interface displays as
shown in Figure 12 below.
Note:
You can only access the PTZ control interface while in live mode.
