Absolute and Relative Positioning PTZ Cameras
Your configuration options depend on whether the PTZ camera in question is of the absolute positioning or
relative positioning kind:
•
Absolute:
For an absolute positioning PTZ camera, you are able to define up to preset positions.
You define a preset position by moving the PTZ camera to the required position with the controls in
the
PTZ View
section, then naming the position in the window's
Preset Positions
section.
•
Relative:
For a relative positioning PTZ camera, the number of preset positions will depend on the
camera/video encoder and PTZ driver used.
For some relative positioning PTZ cameras you will only be able to use preset positions defined on
the camera/video encoder itself (when this is the case, the preset positions are typically defined
