To control a PTZ camera, you can use both step buttons (discrete PTZ mode) and the virtual joystick (the camera must support continuous PTZ), if the camera supports both modes.

 

To select, click the  and  buttons.

Otherwise, only one of the modes can be used.

Note

If your camera is set to discrete PTZ control via continuous, your control options are limited to buttons only (see The PTZ object).

Set the sensitivity level of PTZ step buttons by selecting a value from 1 to 10.

If you press and hold the buttons, the PTZ camera moves continuously.

Attention!

Interaction between PTZ cameras and the Client can cause the cameras to jerk in some cases. 

Cameras can also jerk when they are connected via the ONVIF protocol (see Notes on configuring video cameras connected via ONVIF).

Virtual joysticks are controlled as follows:

  1. Click and hold down the left mouse button in the central (blue) part of the joystick.
  2. Drag the joystick in the necessary direction.

Note

You can also move the joystick by clicking and holding the left mouse button outside of the joystick border.

The turn speed depends on the tilt of the joystick: the greater the tilt, the higher the speed.

If you rotate the camera image 180° (see Video image rotation), you will have the PTZ controls inverted.
