AXIS 241Q/241S - Pan Tilt Zoom 37

Advanced

Device Settings - The device settings window is for driver specific settings, so the appearance of this window can vary depending on the driver installed. Options that can be configured include: Driver Specific Settings, Mechanical Limits for Moving Video Source, Light Control, and Extended Driver Specific Settings.

Ctrl Panel - The Panel View Settings window contains tools for creating and saving shortcut command buttons that are located under the Control panel. These buttons provide direct access to various built-in auxiliary commands provided by the PTZ driver and are displayed in the PTZ Panel.

Limits - Define the pan, tilt, zoom and focus limits for the AXIS 241Q/241S. Movements to the left and right, up and down can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance. The near focus limit can be set to avoid focusing on objects too close to the camera.

OSD Menu - If the PTZ unit supports an internal configuration menu, this can be accessed using the On-Screen Display (OSD). Configure the analog camera by opening and navigating through its internal menu in this display.

Control Queue

Here you can enable and disable PTZ queueing. This window allows you to set up a queue for viewers wanting to access the Axis video server, and limits the number of viewers and the length of time each viewer can access and control the PTZ unit. For more information on how to set up the control queue, please see the online help .

Note also that a viewer who belongs to a group (see Security, on page 38) with a higher PTZ priority can go before other users in the queue and take control of the Axis video server.

The order of priority for taking control of the queue is as follows:

1.Administrators - An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is first in queue. The administrator will be removed from the queue 60 seconds after their last PTZ control command.

2.Event - The AXIS video server can be set up to take control of the queue and move to a specific position for 20 seconds when triggered by an alarm. The event is immediately placed first in the queue, except when an administrator is in control. For more information, see Triggered Event, on page 28.

3.Operator - Same as administrator, but with lower priority.

4.Viewer - Multiple viewers must wait for their turn. The viewer has 60 seconds PTZ control before control is passed to the next viewer in queue.

Note: To identify the different users in the viewer group, cookies must be enabled on the client.
