operation using a mouse: Area zoom mode and Vector  
dragging mode. A control bar is displayed on the screen.  
In the Area zoom mode, clicking will pan or tilt the  
camera towards the center of the image. The Area zoom  
will move the camera in the direction that displays the  
area selected by the operator and zooms in at the same  
time. The operator can choose a part of the image to  
view and zoom in by surrounding the area with a frame  
by dragging the mouse.  
In the Vector dragging mode, the camera pans or tilts in  
the dragged direction. How long you drag the mouse  
determines the speed. Releasing the button on the mouse  
after dragging stops the panning or tilting of the camera.  
You can also use the tool bar to pan or tilt.  
The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available

Panning and tilting by clicking the  
monitor image (Area zoom mode  
only)  
Click on the monitor image, and the camera moves so  
that the clicked portion is positioned at the center of the  
display.  
Notes  
• Pan/Tilt limitation  
The solid PTZ function controls streaming by  
cropping or reducing a maximum size image.  
Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to  
be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the  
WIDE setting.  
• Zoom limitation  
The solid PTZ function enables you to display an area  
of 1/16 the maximum image size (Aspect ratio: 1:4),  
when zoomed in at the TELE setting. An image cannot  
be enlarged beyond this.  
And the whole area shot in the maximum image size  
will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the  
WIDE setting.  
The solid PTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally;  
therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be  
observed at the TELE setting.  
• The Plug-in free viewer display method will be  
selected automatically.  
Panning, tilting and zooming by  
specifying the area (Area zoom  
mode only)  
Click and hold the left button of the mouse on the  
monitor image, and drag the mouse diagonally to draw a  
red frame around the portion you want to enlarge. The  
camera moves so that framed portion is positioned at the  
center of the display and is zoomed in.  
Controlling via the control panel  
(Operation common to Area zoom  
mode and Vector dragging mode)  
You can operate the camera direction and zoom by using  
the control panel for the monitor image currently  
displayed.  
Note  
When the specified area is zoomed in, the center may be  
shifted or some portion of the image may appear out of  
the monitor image section. In this case, click the point  
you want to move to the center or click the arrow button  
on the camera control panel.  
Pan/Tilt control

want to move the camera. Keep it pressed to move the  
camera continuously.

Panning and tilting by dragging the  
screen (Vector dragging mode  
only)  
When you click on the starting point on the image and  
drag to the end point, the camera pans/tilts in the  
direction of the arrow from the starting point to the end  
point. The speed of operation is determined by the  
length of arrow. Releasing the button on the mouse stops  
the panning/tilting of the camera.  
Switching Transmission  
Mode  
You can change the transmission mode for video/audio  
data.  
This function can be used when the video codec mode is  
set to H.264 and the ActiveX viewer in the live viewer is  
used.  
Note  
The function may not operate correctly if you use  
personal firewall software or antivirus software on your  
computer. In that case, disable the software or select the  
TCP mode.

Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the  
Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.  
Usingpan/tilt/zoomoperations with  
the displayed control bar (PTZ  
Control bar only)  
TCP: This is normally selected.  
When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is  
adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is  
the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In  
an environment capable of reading Web pages, you  
can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the  
TCP port.  
Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Realtime  
Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio  
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for  
running video/audio data, the video/audio playback  
is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If  
a firewall is installed between the camera and the  
computer, or depending on the network  
environment, video/audio may not play back  
properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,  
select TCP.  
Pan/Tilt operations  
Click the arrow of the direction you wish to move the  
camera. Continue clicking on the arrow to keep moving  
the direction of the camera.  
Zoom operation  
Click  
to zoom out, click  
to zoom in. The zoom  
operation continues while you are clicking on the  
button.  
Multicast: This protocol is selectable when  
Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the  
Video / Audio menu is set to Enable. When  
Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP  
(Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast  
techniques are adopted for video/audio  
transmission. By selecting it, the network  
transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If  
a router that does not correspond to a multicast or  
firewall is installed between the camera and the  
computer, video/audio may not play back properly.  
In this case, select TCP or Unicast.
