1.2 Functions
The functions vary depending on the models of PTZ camera.
Limit Stops
The PTZ camera can be programmed to move within the limit stops (left/right,
up/down).
Preset Freezing
This feature freezes the scene on the monitor when the PTZ camera is moving to a
preset. This allows for smooth transition from one preset scene to another. It also
guarantees that masked area will not be revealed when the PTZ camera is moving to
a preset.
Presets
A preset is a predefined image position. When the preset is called, the PTZ camera
will automatically move to the defined position. The presets can be added, modified,
deleted and called.
Label Display
The on-screen label of the preset title, azimuth/elevation, zoom, time and PTZ
camera name can be displayed on the monitor. The displays of time and PTZ camera
name can be programmed.
Privacy Mask
This function allows you to block or mask certain area of a scene, for preventing the
personal privacy from recording or live viewing. A masked area will move with pan
and tilt functions and automatically adjust in size as the lens zooms telephoto and
wide.
In the client software, use the left key of mouse to click on the desired position in the
video image and drag a rectangle area in the lower right direction, then the camera
will move the position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom in. Use the
left key of mouse to drag a rectangle area in the upper left direction to move the
position to the center and allow the rectangle area to zoom out.
Proportional Pan/Tilt
Proportional pan/tilt automatically reduces or increases the pan and tilt speeds
according to the amount of zoom. At telephoto zoom settings, the pan and tilt
speeds will be slower than at wide zoom settings. This keeps the image from moving
too fast on the live view image when there is a large amount of zoom.
Auto Focus
The auto focus enables the camera to focus automatically to maintain clear video
images.
Day/Night Auto Switch
The PTZ camera delivers color images during the day. And as light diminishes at night,
the PTZ camera switches to night mode and deliver black and white images with high
quality.
Slow Shutter
In slow shutter mode, the shutter speed will automatically slow down in low
illumination conditions to maintain clear video images by extending the exposure
time. The feature can be enabled or disabled.
Backlight Compensation (BLC)
If you focus on an object against strong backlight, the object will be too dark to be
seen clearly. The BLC (Backlight Compensation) function can compensate light to the
object in the front to make it clear, but this causes the over-exposure of the
background where the light is strong.
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)
The wide dynamic range (WDR) function helps the camera provide clear images even
under back light circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas
simultaneously in the field of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole
image and provide clear images with details.
This feature varies depending on PTZ camera models.
White Balance (WB)
White balance can remove the unrealistic color casts. White balance is the white
rendition function of the camera to adjust the color temperature according to the
environment automatically.
Power Off Memory
The PTZ camera supports the power off memory capability with the predefined
resume time. It allows the PTZ camera to resume its previous position after power is
restored.
Time Task
A time task is a preconfigured action that can be performed automatically at a
specific date and time. The programmable actions include: preset 1-8, day, night,
reboot, PT adjust, Alarm output, etc.
Park Action
This feature allows the PTZ camera to start a predefined action automatically after a
period of inactivity.
User Management
The PTZ camera allows you to edit users with different levels of permission, in the
admin login status. Multiple users are allowed to access and control the same
network PTZ camera via network simultaneously.
3D Digital Noise Reduction
Comparing with the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D digital noise reduction
function processes the noise between two frames besides processing the noise in
one frame. The noise will be much less and the video will be clearer.
Dual-VCA
Combine the detected moving objects into the video stream, which can be used for
the second-time analysis on the back-end device.
