Prepare all Cameras
On each camera in the room:
- Set the I/O Ports
- Set the PTZ Presets
- Set the Privacy mask
- If applicable, set the privacy PTZ preset position
Set the I/O Ports
- Go to System → Accessories.
- Ensure that Ports 1 & 3 are set as Input and 2 & 4 are set as Output.
| Port 1 | Input | Port 2 | Output | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Port 3 | Input | Port 4 | Output | |
✎Some cameras will only have ports 1 & 2.
Set the PTZ Presets
If there are any PTZ cameras in the room, you will need to set the preset positions on those cameras.
- Pan/Tilt/Zoom your camera to the desired angle.
- Go to PTZ → Preset Positions.
- Select Preset Positions → Create preset position.
- Home Position
- Set a typical angle that would capture the room normally.
- In the Name field enter Home.
- Privacy Position
- Typically, this involves having the PTZ face the wall.
- In the Name field enter Privacy.
✎The Home preset may already exist. If this is the case, hit the Edit button on the existing Home preset instead of creating a new preset.
✎The exact position does not matter for functionality, but having the camera visibly face the wall can help to ensure visual privacy even if the mask is off.
