Remember: if you want to save the position of the camera image of a viewport (what the camera is looking at) make sure to make the changes in "Camera Settings". Any PTZ changes made in preview images, history browser, or live view are only temporary. As soon as you close the window the camera image will be back to its original position.
Virtual PTZ: Positioning the Viewpoint
Note: Any user with permission to view video can use Virtual PTZ to virtually pan, tilt and zoom within the full 360-degree image because it does not change the recorded video.
The Viewpoints can be moved in both the Live View and the Historical Browser & Previews.
Live View
Hold and drag to move the image.
History Browser & Previews
Single click
on the spot you want the camera to center on.
Remember: No matter the position of the Viewpoint in the Historical Footage, the entire area captured by the fisheye camera will be part of the footage. Therefore, the angle can be changed in historical footage.
