Controls

Panel Shortcut Command Buttons can be configured to provide direct access to commands issued via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface. The buttons will be displayed in the PTZ control panel, which is available in the Live View page through the Ctrl panel button, see page 13.

Deselect the options under Enable/Disable controls to disable the pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris controls.

Note

Disabling PTZ controls will not affect preset positions. For example, if the tilt control is disabled, the product can still move to preset positions that require a tilt movement.

Control Queue

The administrator can set up a queue for PTZ controllers from PTZ > Control Queue. Once set up, the PTZ Control Queue buttons appear in the Live View page offering one viewer exclusive control for a limited period of time. Other users will be placed in queue.

A user who belongs to a group (see Users, on page 45) with a higher PTZ priority can go before other users in the queue and take control of the product. The order of priority is as follows:

1.Administrator — An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is first in queue. The administrator will be removed from the queue 60 seconds after the last PTZ control command.

2.Event — The Axis product can be configured to go to a preset position when triggered by an alarm (see ). The event will immediately be placed first in the queue except when an administrator is in control.

3.Operator — Same as administrator but with lower priority

4.Guard Tour — A guard tour (see page 30) has PTZ control for an indefinite period of time. It may be overridden by an operator, event or administrator. The guard tour will resume when higher priority groups leave the queue.

5.Viewer — Multiple viewers must wait for their turn. The viewer has 60 seconds PTZ control before control is passed on to the next viewer in queue.

Note

The administrator can enable and disable PTZ controls for selected users.

To identify different users in the viewer group, cookies must be enabled on the client.

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.
