PTZ Cameras

PTZ Cameras

DS ControlPoint provides features for pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras that allow you to control and configure PTZ-enabled cameras (by way of presets) through the viewing area.

NOTE: To control PTZ functions on Digital Sentry systems when connected through DS ControlPoint, you must be assigned the Configuration Manager permission. This permission must be assigned using DS Admin. For more information, refer to the Integral Digital Sentry Operation/Configuration manual.

To view video or data from a PTZ camera in a video pane:

1. From the Live page, click the Layout icon and select the configuration from the menu. To close the configuration menu, press the <Esc> key.

2. Select the Systems section of the navigation pane, and expand the tree until you see the appropriate PTZ-enabled camera.

3. Drag the camera to a video pane. The PTZ icons appear with the displayed video.
