Preset Positions

A preset position is a predefined view that can be used to quickly steer the camera to a specific location. Preset positions can be accessed in several ways:

•By selecting the preset from the Preset positions drop-down list in the Live View Page.

•When setting up action rules. See page 28.

•When setting up Guard Tour. See page 23.

To add a preset position:

1.Go to PTZ > Preset Positions.

2.Use the pan, tilt and zoom controls to steer the camera view to the desired position.

3.Enter a descriptive name in the Current position field.

4.If required, select Use current position as Home.

5.Click Add. The camera’s position, iris and focus settings are saved as a preset position.

The Home position is readily accessible by clicking the Home button on the Live View page and in the Preset Positions setup window.

To set a customized home position, select Use current position as Home when adding a preset position. The user-defined home position will have (H) added, for example, Entrance (H). The default Home position, called “Home”, will still be available.

The product can be configured to return to the Home position when the PTZ functionality has been inactive for a specified length of time. Enter the length of time in the Return to home when inactive field and click Save. Set the time to zero to prevent the product from automatically returning to the Home position.

To include the preset position name in the overlay text, go to Video, select Include overlay text and enter the modifier #P in the field.

M7014 specifications

The Axis Communications M7014 is a state-of-the-art video encoder designed to enhance the capabilities of existing analog cameras by integrating them into modern IP-based video surveillance systems. This encoder facilitates the transition from traditional surveillance infrastructure to more advanced and flexible IP solutions, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to modernize their security setups.

One of the main features of the M7014 is its ability to encode video in multiple formats, including H.264 and Motion JPEG. H.264 is particularly valued for its efficient compression capabilities, allowing high-quality video to be transmitted using less bandwidth, which is essential for optimizing storage and network resources. The encoder supports a resolution of up to 720p, ensuring clear and detailed footage that can be crucial for identifying individuals or events.

The M7014 offers four channels, enabling users to connect and manage multiple analog cameras simultaneously. This multi-channel capability is perfect for businesses needing extensive coverage over different areas without the need to invest in multiple encoders. Additionally, the encoder provides two-way audio capabilities, allowing for real-time communication between the monitoring center and the field, which adds an extra layer of security and operational efficiency.

Incorporating advanced video analytics, the M7014 supports functionalities such as motion detection and audio detection, which trigger alerts and notifications in case of suspicious activities. This proactive approach ensures that security personnel are immediately informed about potential threats, enabling timely responses.

Moreover, the M7014 is designed with ease of installation and integration in mind. It features Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing the need for additional power cables and simplifying the setup process. This technology also allows for remote management and configuration, making it easier for users to monitor and adjust settings from various locations.

Furthermore, the device is equipped with Axis' unique One-Click Cloud capability, which allows for seamless connection to cloud services, enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the surveillance system. The M7014 is also compatible with a variety of video management software, ensuring that users can choose a platform that best meets their operational needs.

In summary, the Axis Communications M7014 is a powerful and versatile video encoder designed to support the transition from analog to IP surveillance. With its multi-channel capabilities, efficient video compression, advanced analytics, and user-friendly features, it represents a valuable addition to any security infrastructure, enhancing surveillance effectiveness while streamlining operations.
