1.2.2 Aiming the Camera Lens
The camera can be panned from -50 ° to +50 ° from the center position, and tilted from -40 ° to +10 ° from the center position. If the [Pan/Tilt Range] button was used to limit the maximum pan and tilt range of the camera (see 1.2.3 Limiting the Pan/Tilt Range), the lens can only be moved to the maximum pan or tilt range allowed.
A.
Pan: -50 ° to +50 °
B.
Tilt: -40 ° to +10 °
There are several ways you can move the camera lens to view the desired image, as described in this section.
Note
Do not apply pressure to the pan/tilt portion of the camera. Any forced movement can damage the camera.
Click to center
Allows you to quickly and easily center the camera image on the desired point. Simply move the mouse cursor to the desired point in the camera image, and click. Note that the camera may not be able to center on the clicked point if it is outside of the pan and tilt range of the lens.
This feature can be disabled for general users (see Creating or modifying a general user account) and for guest users (see Changing the features available to guest users). Note, however, that if the click to center feature is disabled, users can still use this feature when using the digital zoom feature. Users can click to center the image within the zoomed area, but the lens will not pan or tilt.
Pan and tilt scan buttons
Allow you to pan or tilt the lens to its maximum pan or tilt range. The lens returns to the original position when finished. While using this feature, you can stop the lens by clicking inside the image area.
This feature can be disabled for general users (see Creating or modifying a general user account) and for guest users (see Changing the features available to guest users).
Navigation buttons
Allow you to pan the lens left and right, and tilt the lens up and down. Click the center navigation button to move the lens to the home position.
The camera lens moves to the home position when it is turned on. You can change the home position if necessary (see 1.2.9 Registering and Changing Presets).
This feature can be disabled for general users (see Creating or modifying a general user account) and for guest users (see Changing the features available to guest users).
Presets
Allow you to move the lens to a pre-programmed position. You can register up to 8 presets (see 1.2.9 Registering and Changing Presets). Click buttons 1–8 to move the lens to the corresponding preset, or select the desired preset from the pull-down menu. You can also move the lens to the home position by clicking the center navigation button.
This feature can be disabled for general users (see Creating or modifying a general user account) and for guest users (see Changing the features available to guest users).
