Using the PTZ Pro 2
Overview
Ceiling Mounted Video Camera: Classrooms and laboratories are equipped with a ceiling-mounted video camera as an alternative to a laptop webcam. The ceiling-mounted camera improves video quality and possible camera angles for classroom streaming and recording. The camera includes a remote control for quickly switching between three programmed preset positions (e.g., whiteboard, faculty at the console, or a wider view of the classroom).
Features
-
Starting the video: Video will start once a video call/capture session is opened and the camera is selected. The camera LED will illuminate when the video is streaming.
-
Pan and tilt: Use the remote control. Press once for incremental movement or press and hold for continuous pan or tilt. Caution: Do not manually rotate the webcam head—doing so may damage the unit.
-
Zoom: Press the zoom button to zoom the camera up to 10×.
-
Home: Press the Home button to return to the default, out-of-box home position.
-
Camera presets: Set up to 3 preset positions. Position the camera using pan and tilt, then press and hold a preset button for 3 seconds to save it. Use Preset 1 as your “home” position. When reconnected, the camera returns to Preset 1 (or default home if not set).
