DAHUA PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) Cameras offer a versatile set of features that provide comprehensive control over your surveillance imagery. With functionalities like Scan, Preset, Tour, Pattern, Light Wiper, Goto, and Pan, you can dynamically adjust the camera's view to capture the necessary details. This guide will walk you through each of these features, ensuring you can operate your DAHUA PTZ Cameras with precision.

PTZ Features Overview:

1. Scan:

   • The Scan feature enables the camera to move back and forth within a set range at a specified speed. This function can be programmed via the camera's On-Screen Display (OSD) and is ideal for continuous monitoring over a wide area.

2. Preset:

   • The Preset function allows you to save specific camera positions, including pan/tilt angles and focal lengths. These positions can be quickly recalled using a control keyboard, providing instant access to critical viewpoints.

3. Tour:

   • With the Tour feature, you can program a sequence of presets into an auto tour list. The camera will then automatically move through these positions at regular intervals, offering a comprehensive sweep of the area under surveillance.

4. Pattern:

   • The Pattern function memorizes a series of PTZ operations, such as pan, tilt, and zoom movements. Once recorded, you can replay these patterns to repeat the exact camera movements.

5. Light Wiper:

   • This feature is used to set the wiper mode, enabling you to control when the wiper starts and stops, the interval between wipes, and the overall wiper control. It's perfect for maintaining clear imagery in wet conditions.

6. Goto:

   • Goto allows the PTZ Camera to move to a specific location defined by coordinates. This feature is useful for directing the camera to a precise point of interest.

7. Pan:

   • The Pan feature moves the PTZ Camera between two pre-established points, allowing for a smooth transition between two fixed positions.

Instructions for PTZ Features:

• To utilize these features, you will typically need a control keyboard or compatible software that can interface with your DAHUA PTZ Cameras.

• For the Scan feature, set the left and right limits and the scan speed through the camera's OSD menu.

• To use Preset, navigate to the desired camera view and save the position. Later, you can recall this position using the preset number.

• For creating a Tour, select and arrange the presets in the desired sequence. Program the tour to follow this sequence at set intervals.

• Record a series of PTZ movements as a Pattern, and then call upon this pattern to replay the recorded sequence.

• Configure the Light Wiper by setting the mode, enabling and stopping times, and the interval for the wiper action.

• Use the Goto feature by inputting specific coordinates to direct the camera to the exact location.

• To execute a Pan movement, define the start and end points, and the camera will move between these two points.

DAHUA PTZ Cameras provide a sophisticated set of features that give you full control over your surveillance imagery. Whether you need to monitor a broad area with the Scan feature or need to recall specific camera positions with Preset, these cameras offer the flexibility and precision needed for effective surveillance.
