OSDI Zones

On-Screen Direction Indicator (OSDI) zones can be included in the overlay text (see Overlay, on page 21) to aid the user to navigate the Axis product. Each OSDI zone is set up with coordinates and a descriptive name.

OSDI zones are set up under PTZ > OSDI Zones. The Axis product uses the coordinates of the center of the view to set the lower left and upper right zone areas. First navigate to where you would like the lowermost left point of the OSDI zone to be located. Click Get to set the coordinates. Proceed to where the upper right point of zone should be located and click Get. Give the zone a descriptive name and click OK.

To include the name of the OSDI zone in the overlay text, go to Video & Audio < Video Stream < Overlay Settings. Check the Include text box and enter the modifier #L in the field. For more information about modifiers, see File Naming & Date/Time

Advanced

Limits

Define the pan, tilt, zoom and focus limits for the Axis product. Movements to the left and right, up and down, can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance.

Configure the near focus limit to avoid focusing on objects too close to the camera lens.

When Enable E-flipis selected, as it tilts down and continues to pan backwards, the Axis product will automatically correct the view and flip it 180 degrees. The left limit must be set to –180 degrees and the right limit to 180 degrees for e-flip to work.

Move speed sets the speed of the camera’s pan and tilt movements. The default setting is maximum speed.

When using a joystick (or emulating one with the mouse) the Enable proportional speed setting can be used to reduce the maximum pan/tilt movement speed, i.e. the speed the camera view moves at when the joystick is pushed all the way out in any direction. This is useful then the view is zoomed in on an object.

Q6042 PTZ specifications

The Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ is a sophisticated network camera designed for demanding surveillance environments. Known for its high-resolution imaging and advanced features, this camera is an ideal choice for monitoring large areas such as city centers, airports, and parking lots.

One of the standout features of the Q6042 is its 1080p resolution, offering crisp, detailed video quality. The camera supports H.264 compression technology, which minimizes bandwidth use and storage requirements without sacrificing image quality. This makes it very efficient for users looking to maintain high video fidelity while maximizing their network and storage capacity.

Another key characteristic of the Q6042 is its 18x optical zoom, enabling operators to zoom in on distant subjects without blurring the image. Combined with its advanced pan and tilt capabilities—offering a 360-degree continuous rotation and a tilt range of -20 to +90 degrees—the PTZ camera can cover vast areas and track moving objects with ease. This functionality is particularly useful for security personnel who need to monitor dynamic environments.

The Q6042 is also equipped with Axis' Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which enhances the camera's ability to capture clear images in challenging lighting conditions. This feature is vital when monitoring areas that experience significant contrasts in light, such as entrances and exits.

The camera is built for durability and features an IP66-rated weatherproof housing, protecting it from dust and heavy rain. It is also resistant to vandalism, making it suitable for outdoor installations where security is a prime concern.

Integrated with Axis’ Corridor Format technology, the Q6042 can be configured to monitor tall and narrow areas, optimizing the field of view for situations like hallways or alleys. This maximizes the effectiveness of surveillance and reduces the amount of unnecessary data captured.

Moreover, the Q6042 supports various network protocols and can be seamlessly integrated with other security systems. With its built-in analytics capabilities, the camera can be equipped with features such as motion detection and audio detection, allowing users to receive alerts based on specific events.

In summary, the Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ camera offers a robust solution for high-security surveillance needs, equipped with high-resolution video, extensive zoom capabilities, and advanced analytics, making it a versatile tool for modern security applications.
