1.2.2 Aiming the Camera Lens
The camera’s lens can be panned from -175° to +175° and tilted from 0° to +82°.
Pan
Tilt
There are several ways you can move the camera lens to view the desired image, as described in this section.
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 and 4.6× zoom features are disabled, users can still use this feature when using the 10× 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.
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 1.2.10 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 20 presets (see 1.2.10 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).
