How to control a PTZ camera?

The PTZ control panel can be accessed from the Live Viewing screen by left-clicking
once on the channel screen of the corresponding PTZ camera, and then clicking the
icon on the channel toolbar.
Note for Remote Access and Mobile Device users:
The PTZ functions of the DVR and compatible cameras can be controlled remotely
via the SwannView Link software and mobile app.
Please note: due to the latency caused by streaming so much data over an Internet
connection, there will be a momentary pause between selecting a direction for the
camera to move and it actually moving.
Typically the delay will be less than one second; however periods of up to thirty
seconds are not uncommon on mobile, wireless or slow Internet connections.
