The PTZ widget is used to perform pan, tilt, and zoom
operations on the displayed camera. It appears in the Controls pane when the selected tile
displays a PTZ-enabled camera (
).
IMPORTANT: Not all PTZ cameras support all PTZ commands. If
one or more of the PTZ buttons are greyed out, the PTZ camera you are working with does
not support that command.
