The Control Panel widget is available in the videoDriver palette. You can drag it directly from the palette onto a Px page to provide a set of buttons that allow you to pan, tilt, and zoom the camera at three speeds (Slow >, Medium >>, and Fast >>>).

Camera controls do not operate unless they are Enabled. Each of these controls must be enabled by selecting the option box for each control under the PTZ Support property on the camera property sheet. The default setting for these controls is Disabled (or, not selected).

This widget, shown in Figure 35, is intended for use on very basic touch screen systems that do not support dragging (as required for using the Pan Tilt Joystick widget). You can drag the widget boundaries to adjust the widget size and position on the Px page.

After dragging the Control Panel widget to the Px page, you can set the binding (Video Stream Binding) to the desired video camera to start live video display.

Alternatively, instead of dragging the Live Video Player from the palette, you can drag a video camera to the Px page and use the Make Widget Wizard to add the Live Video Player widget to the Px page.

In NiagaraAX-3.4 and later versions this widget supports Enterprise Video functions, if it is licensed for the “remoteVideo” feature.
