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 is removed from the queue 60 seconds after their last PTZ control command.

2.Event - the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA 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 40.

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

4.Guard tour - a guard tour has PTZ control for an indefinite period of time. It may be overridden by Operator, Event, or administrator. Guard tour resumes when higher priority groups leave the queue. For more information see Guard tour, on page 36.

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

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