Advanced
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 10.
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 40) 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 Events, on page 33). 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.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.
