AXIS 214 PTZ
The Live View pageThe following provides an overview of the controls found on the Live View page. If the AXIS 214 PTZ has
been customized (from Setup > Live View Config > Layout), the controls will be displayed accordingly:
Pan/Tilt/Zoom controlsThe Live View page also displays the Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls.
These are enabled/disabled for specified users by the administrator under System Options
> Security > Users > User List.
The Pan Tilt and Zoom bars control their respective functions in two different ways.
Clicking anywhere on the bar's gradient allows for a 'smooth' adjustment of the camera's
position, whilst clicking on the arrows at the two ends of the bar causes a stepped,
incremental change.
Note: Setting the iris and focus manually will disable Auto iris/Auto focus.
The Video Format drop-down list allows the video format on the Live View page to be
temporarily changed.
These buttons start/stop the Sequence Mode which automatically displays the view from preset
positions at set intervals. Sequence mode is configured in Setup > PTZ Configuration >
Sequence Mode.
The source list is used to select the preset positions already configured in the camera.
These are created in Setup > PTZ Configuration > Preset Positions.
The Manual trigger buttons trigger an action directly from the Live View page. These buttons
are configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout. Click these buttons to manually
start and stop events.
Use the Snapshot button to capture a snapshot of the image currently being displayed in the
window. Right-click on the image to save it in JPEG format on your computer.
The 2 types of Output button
each control the output directly
from the Live View page. These
are configured under Setup >
Live View Config > Layout.

defined period of time, e.g. to switch on a light for 20
seconds.
Active/Inactive - click these buttons to manually start
and stop a connected device, e.g. switch a light on/off.
