AXIS 241Q/241S - Pan Tilt Zoom 35

Video sources

Tilt bar (relative)

The controls shown depend on the model of the PTZ device. The most common controls are:

the Pan bar - moves the camera to the right and left

the Tilt bar - tips the camera up and down

the Zoom bar - zooms the view in and out. Note that this is only available if the camera is fitted with a zoom lens

the Iris bar - adjusts the brightness of the image

Clicking on the bars themselves or on the arrows at the end of the bars moves the camera to a new position. The type of movement and the location of this new position depends on the type of PTZ driver.

When controlling the camera using a relative PTZ driver (see the bars in the illustration above) the new position is relative to the previous position, for example, left of, below, or above. Clicking the bar further from the center results in a larger movement.

In contrast, when using an absolute driver, each position on the bar (see right) represents a defined

position in the device’s range of movement, with the center of the bar representing the point midway between the two extremes of movement.

Clicking a position directly on the bar moves the camera directly to the new position in one smooth movement. Clicking on the arrows at the ends of a bar causes an incremental change.
