Using the PTZ Web
remote
Control PTZ cameras connected to the
Main Controller from the web browser of any computer or mobile device over any
LAN, Wi-Fi, and WAN IP network. Use it as a far-end controller to switch
between cameras, control pan, tilt, zoom, and focus, and call on presets. There
is no limit on the quantity of simultaneous connections to our PTZ Web Server.
It means that cameras can be controller simultaneously from as many devices as
needed.

Turn ON Web Control access on the Main Controller.
2)
The default port for Web Control is 80 and the current IP Address and
access information of the Main Controller can be found by clicking on the Settings
button. The Port 80 is reserved by default in Skype, but Skype does not use this
port. It is recommended to uncheck “Use Port 80 and 443 for additional incoming
connections” field by opening Tools- Options- Advanced- Connection in Skype.
Freeing the port 80 for PTZ control will allow distant PTZ camera control using
IP address only.

by simply changing the zoom settings in the browser.

The Camera Status Display will show relevant information such as which
camera is being controlled, which port is selected, and the pan, tilt, and zoom
speed.
*Control cameras using the WebRemote from a device
