Position Your Camera with PTZ Tools

Compared to the basic options of the live stream panel—located in the mini toolbar in the top-right corner—, PTZ cameras have additional functions.

Enter the Single Room View (SRV) of a room to access the control tools of each camera located in the room.

  • Arrows: Tilt and pan the camera with the small arrows placed in the corners of the panel (marked by red squares in the image).
  • Zoom Scroll: Use the buttons of the scroll bar located on the right to zoom in and out.
  • Drag-to-Move: Keep up with sudden moves and position your camera towards crucial actions with a simple click.
    • Click the center of the orange camera target icon in and start dragging your cursor in any direction.
    • An arrow appears and shows the path your camera is following.
    • Let go of your cursor when you arrive at the desired position.
  • Click-to-Center: While recording, change the center of your view with your cursor.
    • Click an area you want to center, and your PTZ camera changes its view accordingly.
  • Zoom Area: Use the Zoom area option to take a quick close-up on crucial actions.
    • Click in the center of the area you want to zoom in, and start dragging your cursor.
    • An orange rectangle appears as the frame of your new field of view.
    • Let go of your cursor, and your PTZ camera zooms in.
