Mouse PTZ control

PTZ control of the camera can be regulated with the mouse in the Camera window corresponding to the given Camera.

Note.

To control PTZ device using the mouse, enable the PTZ control panel. To enable the PTZ control panel, left-click on it.

Default functions supported by the mouse PTZ controls are given in the following table. In Intellect 4.9.5 and later versions the PTZ control mechanism has been changed.

New control features are used by default and their description is given in the New function column. If the previous PTZ control features are to be used, then set 0 value for the TelemetryMouseAlternative registry key – see Registry keys reference guide.

Re-focus speed depends on how far the pointer is from center of video marked with a cross. The faster the speed, the longer the arrow. Camera lens can be re-focused in continuous and discrete modes. By default the discrete mode is in use - camera lens is refocused in 8 directions: up, down, right, left, up-left, up-right, down-right and down-left. The Continous mode is enabled using the ContinousMode registry key – see Registry keys reference guide. The ContinousMode is to be supported by the camera.
