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

The control panel

Click the Ctrl panel button to display the control panel, where the following settings are available:

•Auto focus - automatically adjusts the image focus.

•Backlight comp - enabling backlight compensation makes the subject clearer if the image background is too bright, or if the subject is too dark.

•IR cut filter - when set to off, the camera will be able to “see” infrared light, e.g. at night, thus making the image clearer. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off.

•Brightness - the image brightness can be adjusted using the +/- buttons, where a higher value produces a brighter image. Click the Reset button to revert to the values saved under Video & Image > Advanced > Camera.

•Shortcuts - these buttons can be configured to provide direct access to vari- ous built-in auxiliary commands provided by the PTZ driver. See Advanced - Ctrl Panel on page 22.

Viewer controls

The default viewer to use for displaying moving images is selected from Setup > Live View Config > Layout.

The AMC viewer toolbar is available in Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows only. See AXIS Media Control, on page 9 for more information. The AMC viewer toolbar displays the following buttons:

The Play/Stop buttons start and stop the live video stream.

The Snapshot button takes a snapshot of the currently displayed image. The Snapshot function and the target directory for saving snapshots can be configured from AMC (AXIS Media Control), which is available from the Windows Control Panel (Internet Explorer for Windows only).

Click the Start recording button to make an MPEG-4 recording. Click again to stop the recording. The recording is saved in the folder specified in the Recording tab in the AMC Control Applet. Only available if the recording button is enabled on the Live View Config page

Click the View Full Screen button and the video image will fill the entire screen area. No other windows will be visible. Press Esc (Escape) on the computer keyboard to cancel full screen view.

Click the Mute /Microphone buttons to switch the sound off and on. Only available if Audio is enabled. (AXIS 215 PTZ-E does not support audio.)

Use the sliders to control the volume on the speaker and microphone. The volume can be set between 0 and 100. (AXIS 215 PTZ-E does not support audio.)

Navigation mode:

Center will move the camera view to center on the position that was clicked. Also used for Area zoom. Joystick moves the camera in the direction indicated by a mouse click, relative to the center of the image. The further from the center the image is clicked, the higher the movement speed.
