6.7 Using the onscreen Compass
The Surveillix DVRs provide control for the PAN/TILT camera in two different ways.
1) Using the Graphical PTZ controller that appears when the PTZ button is pressed on the main screen.
2) Clicking on the video itself. This second option is a much more powerful way to control the Camera. (NOTE:
The PTZ button on the main screen must still be selected to use this option.
Using the Onscreen Compass:
1) Press the PTZ Button on the main screen.
2) Control the PTZ by dragging the mouse on the screen in
the desired direction. A green line will appear to show the
direction the PTZ will move. The shorter the line the less
the PTZ will move. The longer the line the more the PTZ
will travel in the specified direction
