PTZ Camera Control using MouseJoy Mode

MouseJoy Mode allows you to control PTZ camera using a laptop touchpad, trackball mouse, or simply using the movement of any regular mouse. By simply pressing a designated computer keyboard button, your mouse, laptop touchpad, or trackball mouse becomes a PTZ joystick controller. This feature is ideal for controlling your cameras from a laptop computer in a video conferencing environment, eliminating the need for any additional equipment such as bulky joystick controllers.

  1. Activate this feature by clicking on the “MouseJoy button in the application.
  2. On your computer keyboard, press and hold the “ALT” button and your mouse becomes a joystick. Whatever direction you move your mouse, your finger on a touchpad, or the ball in a trackball mouse, is the direction your camera will move. The mouse scroll wheel will control zoom. Release the "ALT" button to stop the movement.
