Controlling PTZ cameras PTZ Cameras can be controlled from a number of places. A PTZ control section on the main menu bar becomes active when a PTZ camera is selected in the feed tree list or by clicking its video window. This provides the 8 direction controls and the home position control, along with zoom in and out controls, and facilities to edit preset positions. A separate PTZ control window can be accessed by clicking on the PTZ icon on the feed window. Clicking the icon a second time hides the PTZ control window for that feed. The PTZ control window has the same controls as the menu bar PTZ section, but also has a draggable zoom bar, allows you to control how far it moves, and adjust the focus. By clicking on the Presets button, and selecting 'Edit Presets' you can configure a number of preset PTZ positions for your camera. You can also right click in the video window to centre on that location, or right click and drag to simulate joystick control. The mouse wheel can be used to zoom in and out. iCatcher also uses a priority system for PTZ control which allows certain types of control to override other actions. Please see the PTZ priority help for more information. |
