Cameras (PTZ)
How do I get PTZ control to work on my camera?
On all recorders, you have full PTZ control on all compatible camera
connections. From the live page, click the PTZ icon . This opens
up the PTZ control panel, from which you can control your camera.
See “Camera Controls” on page 70.
On all NVRs and the 8- and 16-channel DVRs, your RS-485
connections allow you to gather data or send commands from the
recorder for additional PTZ or OSD options.
On the 4-channel recorders, the reduced RS-485 slots do not allow
for two-way communication. They have only the Data (D+ and D-)
capability used to control PTZ cameras.
Does your Control4 driver allow PTZ functionality?
Yes, it does. We also support PTZ control through our web interface,
our mobile apps, and the local control interface.
How can an analog PTZ camera work on my NVR?
First, you must use an encoder. True PTZ cameras can be controlled
through the encoder, as long as they use the Pelco D protocol. Set
the camera to a unique PTZ ID, set the same ID in the NVR for that
channel, and set the baud to the same frequency in all devices using
the RS-485 connection, including the NVR.
