In addition to standard PTZ controls, Nx Witness allows for managing of predefined PTZ positions. It is basically possible to set up several points, tilt and zoom presets and restore them with only two clicks or one hot key.
Then PTZ presets can be used for composing PTZ Tours (see "Setting Up PTZ Tours") or serve as a Home Position (see "Home Positions and Tours for PTZ and Fish-Eye Cameras").
Note: It is possible to configure PTZ on Cameras for Administrators and Viewers with the appropriate permission level.
The following is possible:
