Positional Control of the Video Source

Pan/Tilt devices connected to the AXIS 230’s ports can be controlled directly from the web interface, or by third-party applications. When using such a device, Pan and Tilt bars are automatically displayed, as shown in the example below. Note that the selected Pan/Tilt driver determines the actual layout of the controls. Other functions, not shown here, may also be available.

Click-in-picture Point and click to move the view to a new location.

Select Preset Position To enable quick and accu- rate camera positioning, up to 20 preset camera posi- tions can be set and selected at any time from the drop-down dialog.
