Nx Witness provides a smart and intuitive way for setting up PTZ on Cameras, in addition to easy controls for PTZ on Fish-Eye Cameras and Screenshots (see "De-warping Fish-Eye Cameras").

PTZ on PTZ Cameras can be set by either Administrator or Viewer (a corresponding permission level is required – see "User Management"). PTZ on Fish-Eye Cameras/Screenshots is accessible to all users.

This feature is available for PTZ Cameras if:

•It is supported by the Camera model (Onvif Cameras only)

•Camera is in Live mode

If the requirements are met,  will display on the corresponding camera item.

These restrictions do not apply to Fish-Eye Cameras and Screenshots.

The following PTZ modes are available:

•Simple (Zoom only). Refer to the following image:

Use + and - buttons to zoom in/out.

•Regular (Zoom and Point). Refer to the following image:

Use + and - buttons to zoom in/out. Left-Click on the center circle, Hold Left Mouse Button and move the cursor to move Camera to the desired position.

Additionally, if Camera supports Absolute Move, the following features will be available:

•Save and restore PTZ positions

•Setting Up PTZ Tours

•Setting Up Home Positions or Tours (see "Home Positions and Tours for PTZ and Fish-Eye Cameras")

•Extended (Zoom, Point and additional features). Requires the support for Absolute Move from Camera and custom integration:

In this case Camera allows moving and zooming as in previous case, plus:

•Move to a certain position – Left Click to the desired position

•Zoom to a certain range – Hold Left Mouse Button and draw the rectangle to zoom into (see the above picture)

•Full Zoom Out – Double Click.

•Fish-Eye Cameras/Screenshots support full PTZ functionality.

After all settings are configured press once again to hide PTZ controls.
