Prolog information
Configure pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) settings to control remotely the camera movement and focus.
  1. On the main menu, select P/T/Z.
  2. On the P/T/Z menu, for the SpeedByZoom setting, select one of the following options:
    • On: To adjust the pan and tilt speed based on the zoom level. The pan and tilt speed is reduced so that the video image does not change too quickly.
    • Off: To use the default pan and tilt speed.
  3. For the AF-Zone setting, select the frame area for auto focus.
    STEP RESULT:
    The camera automatically focuses on the objects within the selected area.
  4. For the AF-Sense setting, select the level of auto focus sensitivity.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    A higher value corresponds to a slower auto focus response. For example, if you select High and something passes between the object in focus and the camera, you are less likely to lose focus on the object.
  5. Select Motor Direction.
  6. On the Motor Direction menu, for the L/R Set setting, select one of the following options:
    • STD: To enable standard pan movements.
    • REV: To enable reversed pan movements.
  7. For the U/D Set setting, select one of the following options:
    • STD: To enable standard tilt movements.
    • REV: To enable reversed tilt movements.
  8. Select Back to return to the P/T/Z menu.
  9. For the Display Info setting, select one of the following options:
    • On: To show the camera metadata on top of the video.
    • Off: To display only the video.
  10. For the Image Freeze setting, select one of the following options:
    • On: The video image freezes at the last frame of the previous PTZ position when the camera moves to another PTZ preset position. The video image resumes when the camera fully takes the new position.
    • Off: The video image reflects the camera movements as it takes the new PTZ position.
  11. For the Digital Zoom setting, select one of the following options:
    • One of the zoom values from 2x to 16x.
    • Off: To disable digital zoom.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    With digital zoom, the camera zooms in a certain area of the existing image by enlarging it to the number of megapixels the camera has. You might have video quality issues if you zoom in too far from the camera sensor.
  12. For the Call Preset Speed setting, select the speed at which the camera moves to the preset PTZ position.
  13. For the Pre Zoom Speed setting, select the speed at which the camera lens moves before zooming in.
  14. Select Back to return to the main menu.
