Choosing the Pan Tilt Driver

1.Select the icon for the COM-port you have set to use Pan Tilt.

2.Click the Pan Tilt icon under the port icon and select the driver for your Pan Tilt device. Click Save. The video server will then request a restart. Click OK.

3.Click the Video icon for the video input you wish to use with the selected driver. Under Pan Tilt Serial Port, select the COM-port you configured in steps 1 and 2.

4.If there are Driver Specific Settings available for the driver, a button is provided for this purpose. If the default settings are OK for your needs, then you need do nothing. For specific instructions on how to refine the respective Driver Specific Settings, see the list of supported Pan Tilt devices at www.axis.com. See also the documentation supplied with your PTZ device.
