PTZ configuration

Once PTZ has been installed for the AXIS 243SA, PTZ Configuration now appears in the

menu to the left along with the following sub menus.

Preset positions

A preset position is a pre-defined camera view than can be used to quickly move the camera to a specific location.

From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera to the required position. When satisfied with the camera's position, enter a descriptive name. The camera position, iris and focus settings are then saved as a preset position.

The position can be assumed at any time, by selecting the preset's name from the Preset positions drop-down list. Preset positions can be selected in the Live View page; they can be selected as an action when an event is triggered, in Sequence mode, and can be part of

aGuard Tour.

One position can be set as the Home position, which is readily accessible by clicking the box beside Use current position as Home. The position's name will then have (H) added to the end, for example, Office Entrance (H).
