Watch this video to see how simple the PTZ camera controls are to operate in the Viewtron mobile app for iPhone and Android. Watch me demonstrate how to engage any of the camera’s preset PTZ locations and also manually pan tilt zoom by tapping on the live camera view in the app. This is how it works.
This is the live security camera view in the mobile app for Viewtron security camera systems. This is the single camera live view. The app supports many different multiple camera views as well. To control a PTZ camera, you must switch to the single camera view.
When you tap in the live camera view, these icons will appear on the screen. Tap on the PTZ camera icon to enable the pan tilt zoom controls.
This show the PTZ camera controls enabled. Use the + / – icons to zoom in and out. Tap anywhere on the screen and the camera will pan and tilt so that the view is centered on the location where you tap.
To access the PTZ preset locations, tap on this icon. All of the preset locations that are configured will appear. You can tap on any of them to go to that preset location. The camera will automatically pan tilt zoom to the location when you tap on it.
AI Human Detection Auto-Tracking PTZ Mode
In addition to the manual pan tilt zoom controls available in the mobile app, Viewtron PTZ cameras also support auto-tracking. You can setup human detection and vehicle detection so those objects are automatically tracked. The pan tilt zoom of the camera operates autonomously to track the detected object while it is view of the camera. In this case, line crossing detection was setup to trigger the auto PTZ when a human is detected.
AI Car Detection + Auto-Tracking Pan Tilt Zoom
Here is Viewtron IP-PTZ-832 automatically tracking a car after the AI software detects it in the intrusion zone.
