PTZ
PTZ is a mechanical platform that carries a camera and a protective cover and performs overall control remotely. A PTZ can move in both horizontal and vertical direction to provide all-around view to the camera.
Before you control the PTZ, make sure the PTZ decoder and the NVR network connection is OK.
PTZ Settings
You can set different PTZ parameters for local type and remote type. Before you use local PTZ, make sure you have set PTZ protocol; otherwise you cannot control the local PTZ.
- Local: The PTZ device connects to the NVR via the cable.
- Remote: The PTZ device connects to the NVR via the network.
This function is for some series products only.
