Video input 1 on the AXIS 243Q Blade supports several Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) devices. Please see www.axis.com for a complete list of supported devices, and to obtain the correct driver. PTZ devices can also be used on video inputs 2-4, by creating an internal connection to them from input 1. For further information see Using PTZ on video inputs

2-4, on page 31. Follow the instructions below to install a PTZ device:

1.Using an appropriate cable, connect the PTZ device to the RS-485 port, which is available via the I/O terminal connector on the AXIS 291 Video Server Rack. See I/O Terminal connector, on page 50.

camera online, and then System Options > Ports & Devices > RS-485.

3.Select Pan Tilt Zoom from the Usage drop-down list.

to prevent unauthorized access to the RS-485 port. See Using PTZ on video inputs 2-4, on page 31.

5.Click Upload to install a PTZ driver.

(PTZ drivers are available from the Axis Web site at www.axis.com)
