1. When you added a Camera to the PPI Display, you will have also chosen and placed a temporary Home Position (a star graphic).
   

   

2. The criteria for this temporary Home Position are:

   • An object with a known latitude and longitude.

   • Within the camera's field of vision.

   • At least half the distance of the radar data's radius.

   • Visible on the radar data.

   • Stationary.

   • Passing similarity to shape of a human.

   • Passing similarity to size of a human.

   • Small trees, posts, fitted amenities etc.

3. If your temporary Home Position object does not conform to these, use Ctrl+Click+Drag to move the temporary Home Position Icon to an object more suitable. Turning on the raw radar data will help identify suitable objects for a Home Position on the PPI Display.

4. Next, enable the Config Function, and select the Camera Viewer in the Configuration Tree. If you don’t an application to see the camera video you will need to add a camera viewer - see Viewers.

9. Next, use the Offset Pan Controls to toggle the camera left-right, up-down until your Home Position object is squarely in the centre of the Viewer. The object should sit a fifth of the screen up from the bottom border of the Viewer, at the centre of the crosshairs. The degree intervals between toggles can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the Pan Delta and Pan Tilt, under Offset:

11. Select Save. Your camera is now aligned.

12. Now, you can move the Home Position Icon by selecting Edit on the Configuration Panel and Ctrl+Click+Drag on the PPI to whatever you want in the camera's field of vision e.g. an area that could benefit from being observed while the camera is idle; a gate, a door, a road entrance etc. Then click Save.
