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.

PTZ control queue

Use the PTZ control queue window to enable and disable PTZ queueing. This window allows you to set up a queue for viewers wanting to access the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA, 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 45) with a higher PTZ priority can go before other users in the queue and take control of the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA.
