PTZ cameras. How to set up and control (2026)

In this video, we take a deep dive into working with PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras within the Xeoma video surveillance software. You will learn how to transform standard monitoring into a flexible, high-performance tracking system.

In this video, we demonstrate:
* How to intuitively manage your camera directly from the viewing window.
* How to save critical viewing angles as “presets” in just a couple of clicks.
* How to launch automated guard tours, allowing the camera to patrol the premises on its own.
* How to troubleshoot PTZ initialization issues.

Watch our video to find out how to make your surveillance setup as dynamic and efficient as possible!
