AXIS 214 PTZ - PTZ Configuration
PTZ Configuration
Preset Positions
A preset position is a pre-defined camera view that can quickly and easily be viewed.
From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera
to the required position. When satisfied with the camera's position, enter a descriptive
name. This camera position is then saved as a preset position.
The AXIS 214 PTZ will take the exact
position when the preset's name is selected
from the Preset positions drop-down list.
Preset positions can be selected in Live
View, from events and in Sequence mode.
One position can be set as the Home
position, which is readily accessible by
clicking on the Home button in both the
Preset Position Setup window and the Live
View window. The position's name will
have (H) added, e.g. Office Entrance (H).
Sequence Mode
The Live View page can be configured to rotate through the selected preset positions, in a
set order or randomly.
Select the desired preset positions and enter the time to display each position. Click Save.
The Sequence buttons will appear on the Live View page to enable the viewer to
start and stop the sequence mode.
Advanced - Limits
Define the pan, tilt and zoom limits for the AXIS 214 PTZ. Movements to the left and
right, up and down can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance.
Move speed sets the speed of the camera's Pan/Tilt movements. The default setting is
maximum speed.
Advanced - Ctrl Panel
This allows you to add a shortcut command button to the control panel. This requires you
to provide the URL (path) to an auxiliary command provided by the PTZ driver, or to some
other command accessed via the HTTP API. See the online help for more information.
