USING YOUR SYSTEM: THE PTZ JOYSTICK                 

CONTROLLER

 

The PTZ joystick controller is what you use to move your PTZ camera.  It sends the 
control signal directly to the transmitter at the barn. 

 

This section will explain the basic features of the PTZ joystick controller. The controller 
comes with its own detailed manual explaining all the advanced features.
