Monitor image
The image shot by the camera is shown here.
There are two modes for on-screen pan/tilt/zoom
operation using a mouse: Area zoom mode and Vector
dragging mode.
In the Area zoom mode, clicking on the monitor image
will move the camera so that the clicked portion is
positioned at the center of the monitor. 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 an area with a frame
by dragging the mouse.
In the Vector dragging mode, the camera moves 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 camera control panel to move the
camera.
The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available
in all modes.
Plug-in free viewer
Live viewer using Plug-in free viewer
Display sample:
Monitor screen
There are two modes for on-screen pan/tilt/zoom
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 on the monitor image
will move the camera so that the clicked portion is
positioned at the center of the monitor. 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 moves 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 camera control panel to move the
camera.
The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available
in all modes.
Control bar
The following operation buttons are available.
Using Solid PTZ function
You can operate the camera by using the Solid PTZ
function, which provides panning, tilting and zooming
by adjusting the position and zooming ratio from the
maximum image size (1920 × 1080), without moving
the camera. There are three modes of camera operation:
Area zoom mode, Vector dragging mode and PTZ
Control bar. You can control pan/tilt and zoom in either
mode.
The available functions for the camera operation modes
vary according to the viewer display. The available
functions are as follows.

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.
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.
Pan/Tilt control
Click the arrow button in the direction in which you
want to move the camera. Keep it pressed to move the
camera continuously.
To return to the home position, click .
Zoom control
Click to zoom out, and click to zoom in.
Zooming continues while the button remains pressed.
Note
The four edges of the image may be dark depending on
the zoom position. This is a phenomenon related to the
structure of the camera, and does not cause a problem.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
1 Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the
Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.
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.
Multicast: This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the
Video / Audio menu or Video 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.
Note
When connecting via a proxy server, neither Unicast nor
Multicast can be selected.
