Getting Started

This section explains how to operate and configure the camera’s pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) functions. Before you begin, make sure the camera is powered on, connected, and that the WebGUI is accessible.

  • Power on the camera and wait until the PTZ check movement is completed.
  • Access the WebGUI via SYSTEM > P/T/Z to adjust speed and control settings.
  • Keep the Infrared Receiver enabled if you plan to use the IR remote for wake-up from Low Power Mode.
  • Use the HOME button to return to the default forward-facing position if needed.

P/T/Z Settings in WebGUI

In the WebGUI under SYSTEM > P/T/Z you can configure various settings for Pan, Tilt and Zoom.

  • PTZ Speed: Sets maximum pan and tilt speed. Useful for fast movements, but can generate more noise when set to High.
  • Speed by Zoom: Reduces PTZ speed when zoomed in, preventing movements that are too fast to control.
  • Image Freezing: Freezes the video output while switching between presets.
  • Low Power Mode: Reduces energy use by entering standby and shutting down the IP port. Can only be reactivated by serial connection or IR remote (if IR is enabled).
  • Enable/Disable Infrared Receiver: Turns the IR receiver on or off. Note: when IR is disabled and Low Power Mode is enabled, the camera cannot be reactivated via remote control.
  • Zoom Speed: Defines zoom in/out speed when using the remote control.
  • Preset Pan/Tilt/Zoom Speed: Sets the speed when moving between presets. Higher values result in faster switching.

Basic Pan/Tilt Operation

  1. Press the POWER button to turn on the camera. The PTZ check movement will run automatically.
  2. Use the arrow buttons to move the camera head left/right or up/down.
    • A short press makes a small movement.
    • Holding the button makes a larger movement.
  3. Press the HOME button to reset the camera to its forward-facing, fully zoomed-out position.
  4. If the camera is moved manually, restart it to recalibrate the PTZ mechanism.

Zoom Operation

Press the Zoom+ button to zoom in, or the Zoom- button to zoom out.

Focus Operation

  • Press AUTO for automatic focus adjustment.
  • Press MANUAL for manual focus. Use Focus+ and Focus- to fine-tune focus.
