Last Updated: 1 minute read

Use pan-tilt-zoom controls and PTZ presets

If you're viewing video from a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, tap MobC_Android_PTZ_icon_I.png (Android) or MobC_iOS_PTZ_icon_I.png (iOS) to use the PTZ controls. Tap controls once to pan or zoom one step.

If your administrator created PTZ presets for the PTZ camera in Management Client, you can use PTZ presets on your device in PTZ mode. PTZ presets are predefined positions in the view.

How you access PTZ presets depends on the operating system on your device.

  • Android - Tap MobC_Android_PTZ-Presets_icon_I.png.

  • iOS - Tap MobC_iOS_PTZ_Presets_icon_I.png.

From the PTZ presets list, select a preset to start using it.

Zoom in or out

You can zoom in or out to get a better look at the video.

  • To zoom in, pinch out or tap MobC_Android_ZoomIn_icon_I.png.

  • To zoom out, pinch in or tap MobC_Android_ZoomOut_icon_I.png.

XProtect Mobile uses digital zoom.

Crop or fit images to the screen

You can resize images to fit them to your screen or crop them. By default, images are fitted to the screen.

The outer parts of images are removed. Tap twice to crop images to fill the screen and preserve the image's aspect ratio.

Display other cameras in the view

If your view contains other cameras, you can swipe right or left to display their video.

Switch to playback mode

If you are recording and something happens that you want to review, you can switch to playback mode to review the footage or start an investigation.

To switch to playback mode:

  • Android - Tap MobC_Android_Playback_icon_I.png.

  • iOS - Tap MobC_iOS_Playback_icon_I.png.

Tip

To keep an eye on the live video while you are investigating, turn on picture-in-picture by tapping MobC_iOS_PiP_icon_I.png. To turn off the picture-in-picture option, tap MobC_iOS_PiP_icon_I.png again.
