Using PTZZoom to Box
When PTZ mode is enabled, you can draw a box to which the camera will recenter and will zoom in so
that the box fills the entire cell that contains the camera stream. Zoom to Box functionality is not
supported for all cameras.
When PTZ mode is enabled within a cell:
1.
Click the Zoom to Box icon ( ) to the right of the PTZand lock icons.
This icon is only available if the camera supports Zoom to Box.
2. In the cell, draw a box to indicate the area to which you will zoom.
To exit the Zoom to Box view, click the Zoom to Box icon again.
Executing PTZ Presets and Patterns
A PTZ preset is a defined PTZ position; you can send the camera to the defined position by calling the
preset. A PTZ pattern (or a preset tour) is a series of presets; you can configure most patterns to dwell at
each preset for a specific period of time.
If a pattern or preset exists on the camera, to execute it:
1. Click the cell in which the camera video is being displayed.
2. (Optional) Execute a preset using one of the following methods:
l
Right-click the cell displaying the camera, select Presets, and then select the preset you want
to execute.
l
Click the cell displaying the camera, begin entering the preset number. As you do this, the
Quick Launch dialog box opens. When the preset number is displayed in the black box at the
center of the Quick Launch dialog box, click the Trigger Preset icon ( ) or press Ctrl +Enter.
3. (Optional) To execute a pattern, right-click, select Pattern, and then select the pattern you want to
execute.
4. To exit a preset or a pattern:
l
To stop a preset or a pattern, click the Deactivate Digital PTZ Mode icon ( or ) or the
Deactivate PTZ Mode icon ( ), whichever is present.
l
To stop a pattern only, right-click the cell, select Pattern and then select Stop Pattern.
Creating Presets
VideoXpert does not store presets. Any presets or patterns you create through VxOpsCenter are created
and stored camera-side. When you create a preset through VideoXpert, you will assign the preset a
numerical value; the preset will appear in the camera or encoder interface as “Preset <value>”. Some
cameras and encoders have limitations—a maximum value for presets or reserved values that you
cannot change.
If you want to assign a non-numerical, friendly name to a preset, you must change the name of the preset
from within the camera interface.
Note: For Pelco NET5500 and NET5400 series encoders, you can edit presets, but you cannot
create new ones.
1.
In the upper left corner of the cell, click the Activate Digital PTZ Mode icon ( or ) or the
Activate PTZ Mode icon ( ), whichever is present.
