PTZ lock is a feature that allows the user to block the use of a camera's PTZ through user priority levels.

 

When a user locks the PTZ, only that user will have control over the camera. Other users who attempt to operate will not have access to the control as it is blocked for exclusive use by the operator who initiated the blocking, however, a user with a higher priority than him will be able to take control of the lock (The users' priority level can be configured through user or user group policies).

 

PTZ lock options include:

•Unlock the camera, if blocked in X seconds: If PTZ is blocked by a user, this option sets a time in seconds for it to be automatically unlocked, if the user has not already done so.

•Unlock camera when deselected: Unlocks the PTZ of the locked camera in the Surveillance Client when it is deselected.
