Setting Up and Using PTZ Preset Positions
Up to 25 PTZ preset positions (PP’s) can be created for absolute
positioning PTZ cameras. These are then accessible in the Monitor
application’s control panel. For relative PTZ cameras, the number of PP’s
will depend on the Axis video server and the PTZ driver used.
For relative PTZ
cameras, only
the PP’s defined
in the video
server will be
listed and
available for use.
The PTZ preset
positions dialog
box is activated
from the camera
settings dialog
box by pressing
the PTZ Preset
Positions button.
An absolute PTZ
is device is one
that is capable
of keeping exact
track of its own
position, by
using a
coordinate
system. It is thus
possible to
command it to “go to xx,yy.” A relative PTZ device, however, can only
move in relation to its current position, i.e. it is not possible to say “go to
xx,yy” but only e.g. “go up” or “go left.”
The following functionality is available (for absolute devices):
Wide/Tele bar - Click on the bar to set the zoom level for the camera.
When clicking, the zoom level will be set to the level indicated by the
cursor position on the bar.
