AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - Accessing the camera

The Live View page

The following provides an overview of each button on the Live View page. If the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E has been customized, the buttons will be displayed accordingly:

The Video Format drop-down list allows the video format on the Live View page to be temporarily changed.

The two types of Output button (AXIS 215 PTZ only) each control the output directly from the Live View page. These are configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout.

Pulse - click this button to activate the output for a defined period of time, e.g. to switch on a light for 20 seconds.

Active/Inactive - click these buttons to manually start and stop a connected device, e.g. switch a light on/off.

These buttons start/stop the Sequence Mode which automatically displays the view from preset positions at set intervals. Sequence mode is configured in Setup > PTZ Configuration > Sequence Mode.

The source list is used to select the preset positions already configured in the camera. These are created in Setup > PTZ Configuration > Preset Positions.

The Manual trigger buttons trigger an action directly from the Live View page. These buttons are configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout. Click these buttons to manually start and stop events.

Use the Snapshot button to capture a snapshot of the image currently being displayed in the window. Right-click on the image to save it in JPEG format on your computer.

Area Zoom

This allows you to draw a box over a desired area to zoom into. In order to fine-tune the precision, Area zoom should be calibrated from Setup > PTZ Configuration > Advanced > Calibration.

To activate Area Zoom on the Live View page, click the Center mode button in the AMC viewer toolbar (in other Internet browsers choose PTZ > Center). Click in the image and while holding down the left mouse button, draw a square over the area you would like to zoom into.

Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls

The Live View page also displays the Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls. These are enabled/disabled for specified users by the administrator under System Options > Security > Users > User List.

See also Advanced - Limits, on page 21 for information on E-flip, proportional speed and Auto-flip(PTZ Configuration > Advanced > Limits.)
