Q26 Hemispheric
Virtual PTZ (vPTZ) – No Motor Required
The Q26 can zoom in on detail as well. These vPTZ functions are a standard feature
in the integrated Q26 camera software. The image from the hemispheric camera
can be enlarged using e.g. the mouse wheel, a joystick or a software-controlled
PTZ panel, and you can “move” the view to any section of the image. This provides
the features of a mechanical PTZ camera without the disadvantages of mainte-
nance and wear.
The vPTZ functionality works differently depending on the camera operation platform ( web
browser, MxManagementCenter ). Virtual zoom, pan and tilt using MxManagementCenter is
very simple thanks to special software tools and the use of an optional joystick. However, a
joystick may also be used even with pure browser-based operation from Internet Explorer
(together with an ActiveX plug-in).
