These functions can be directly accessed using a single key or joystick or a simple key combination.
4.4.1. PAN AND TILT FUNCTIONS
The camera may be moved using our keyboard controller. Move the joystick vertically to tilt the camera and horizontally to pan it.
The maximum pan span is from 0º to 360º with continuous rotation. The maximum tilt span is from 0º (camera in vertical position) and 90º.
The panning and tilting speed can be modulated by operating the joystick appropriately.
Note that the maximum speed that can be obtained by operating the joystick is not always equal to that programmed in the working
settings. This in fact depends on the value of the

PROPORTIONAL PAN
setting. If the option is ON, the maximum rotation
speed which can be obtained using the joystick is proportional to the magnification used to obtain the best frame.
Panning (horizontal)
Tip the joystick rightwards to turn the camera horizontally clockwise and tip it leftwards to turn it anticlockwise.
If no advanced options are set (e.g. range limits set enabled), the camera can be turned continuously without interruptions.
The pan span may be limited between two angles in

Tilting (vertical)
Tip the joystick upwards to turn the camera vertically upwards and tip it downwards to turn the camera downwards. The camera rotation is
limited upwards by the horizontal plane or downwards by the vertical axis.
Performance will change considerably near the vertical axis according to whether the
AUTO FLIP
is on or not (default setting is on).
With
AUTO FLIP
off, the camera will stop in perfectly vertical position and will stop turning when the joystick is tipped downwards.
With
AUTO FLIP
on, the camera will proceed over the vertical axis when the joystick is tipped downwards. This is because, when the
vertical axis is reached, the camera flips automatically by 180 degrees and resumes the initial trajectory.
The
AUTO FLIP
function can be used to follow a subject arriving in a certain direction passes under the camera and continues in a straight
