The functions vary depending on the models of positioning system.
Bi-spectrum
The positioning system has two lens, an optical one and a thermal one, and two images
are respectively provided by each lens.
PTZ Limits
The positioning system can be programmed to move within the PTZ limits (left/right,
up/down).
Scan Modes
The positioning system provides 5 scan modes: auto scan, tilt scan, frame scan, random
scan and panorama scan.
Presets
A preset is a predefined image position. When the preset is called, the positioning system
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 positioning
system name can be displayed on the monitor. The displays of time and positioning
User Manual of Thermal Network Positioning system

system name can be programmed.
Auto Flips
In manual tracking mode, when a target object goes directly beneath the positioning
system, the video will automatically flips 180 degrees in horizontal direction to maintain
continuity of tracking. This function can also be realized by auto mirror image depending
on different camera models.
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.
3D Positioning
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 positioning system
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 positioning systems deliver color images during the day. And as light diminishes at
night, the positioning systems switch 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.
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.
Patrol
A patrol is a memorized series of pre-defined preset function. The scanning speed
between two presets and the dwell time at the preset are programmable.
Pattern
A pattern is a memorized series of pan, tilt, zoom, and preset functions. By default the
focus and iris are in auto status during the pattern is being memorized.
Power Off Memory
The positioning system supports the power off memory capability with the predefined
resume time. It allows the positioning system to resume its previous position after power
is restored.
Scheduled Task
A time task is a preconfigured action that can be performed automatically at a specific
date and time. The programmable actions include: auto scan, random scan, patrol
1-8 ,pattern 1-4, preset 1-8,frame scan, panorama scan, tilt scan, day, night, reboot, PT
adjust, Aux Output, etc.
Park Action
This feature allows the positioning system to start a predefined action automatically after
a period of inactivity.
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.

dynamic IP, you need to get a domain name from the DDNS provider (E.g.
DynDns.com). Please follow below steps for normal domain name resolution and
private domain name resolution to solve the problem.
