AXIS 243Q Blade - Pan Tilt Zoom 27

PTZ controls

If the AXIS 243Q Blade has been appropriately configured, the Live View page displays the controls available for the installed Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) device. The administrator can enable/disable the controls for specified users.

Tilt bar (relative)

The exact controls shown depends on the make and model of 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 will move 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, that is, left of, below, above, and so on. Clicking the bar further from the center results in a larger movement.
