- Position Preset: By setting several Pan/Tilt/Zoom preset positions, users are able to see/ capture an area quickly and accurately only by selecting the required preset position.

- Guard Tour: This function is used to set the combination of PTZ preset positions, the moving speed of each PTZ and the duration at each preset position.

4.1.2. Area Zoom

Note:

• Full and Pan/Tilt users, as well as administrators, can use this command.

It is possible to make the pan and tilt displacement of the camera by using "AreaZoom" parameter which is familiar to the mouse operation. At first regard the center of the shot image as coordinate origin in Figure1. The camera will shot the dashed line area after the command set.

Note:

• When zooming in to the specified area, the center may shift according to the conditions of the current pan, tilt and zoom position or specified center.

• When the current zoom position is the optical tele area, the zoom action is limited to the optical zoom maximum. If the "AreaZoom" operation is made on condition that the zoom position is set to the optical maximum, the digital zoom action is performed according to the zoom mode.

• When w=0 and h=0 are set in the AreaZoom parameter, no zoom operation is performed except the pan and tilt operation.

4.1.3. Relative Displacement

4.1.3.1 Pan/Tilt/Zoom Displacement With Respect To Screen

It is possible to make a relative displacement of the pan, tilt, and zoom by using the relative parameter. When making a relative displacement for the pan or tilt, the distance is normalized with its zoom position.

CGI Syntax:

Pan/Tilt position

The value "aa" stands for the controlled item and direction such as "Pan position to the right" or "Zoom position to WIDE". It is possible to set the value "aa" as described in the figure and explanation below.
