Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera Control

If a dome protocol and address have been set to a camera, the camera can be controlled directly by dragging the mouse on the camera window.

Panning and tilting: press down the left mouse button on top of the camera image (begin from the center), and drag the pointer to different directions. Horizontal motion will pan the camera horizontally, while vertical motion tilts the camera vertically.

Panning and tilting (alternative): click a point in the image, and the camera attempts to center itself to that point. Due the differences in protocols and cameras, this is only an approximation, and not intended to be very accurate.

Zooming: please use the scroll wheel of the mouse to zoom in and out. Scrolling forward zooms in, scrolling backward zooms out. You can increase the zoom speed by holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard while scrolling.

Stopping: click the scroll wheel of the mouse (or the middle button). This will instantaneously stop camera movement and zooming.

Selecting a preset: click the right mouse button on a camera image. You can quickly choose one of the first eight presets from the pop-up menu. More presets can be found from the ``Dome control'' sub-menu.

Saving a preset: click the right mouse button on the camera window. The option ``Save dome preset'' can be found in the ``Dome control'' sub-menu of the pop-up menu. Pick a preset slot, and assign a name for it. Now the preset is included in the pop-up menu.

NOTE! Dome presets are saved in the camera. Thus, if you erase camera settings, only preset names will be lost. If you change the camera to another one, the presets will be lost, although the preset names still are visible in the program.
