In non-PTZ cameras, the camera control can only be used to duplicate the camera and to close it.

In case of a PTZ (dome) camera, the main toolbar button changes to a

“Dome” camera icon, and pressing this button assumes the PTZ control.

The close button in the bottom right corner closes the PTZ control, although it will also close automatically after a time which can be defined using the System

Manager application.

In PTZ control mode, the PTZ camera can be turned in various ways.

Using the keyboard arrow keys the PTZ camera turns in three speed steps. The first step lasts half a second and uses the slowest possible speed. The next step lasts 1 second and uses speed 8/16. The third step lasts 20 seconds and uses speed

12/16. After this step the camera turns with maximum possible speed.

These settings can be configured in the Spotter configuration file. Please contact

Mirasys Customer Support for further assistance.

Using the mouse, the camera can be turned by placing the mouse cursor on the camera and clicking somewhere on the screen. With PTZ cameras that support point and turn, the mouse cursor changes to an

“aiming point”.

These kind of cameras will turn to the exact place where the user clicks on the screen. Also, these kind of cameras support “painting” an area of the screen and the camera will actually turn and zoom to the painted area.
