PTZ Configuration

Preset Positions

A preset position is a pre-defined camera view that can quickly and easily be viewed.

From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera to the required position. When satisfied with the camera's position, enter a descriptive name. This camera position is then saved as a preset position.

The AXIS 214 PTZ will take the exact position when the preset's name is selected from the Preset positions drop-down list. Preset positions can be selected in Live View, from events and in Sequence mode.

One position can be set as the Home position, which is readily accessible by clicking on the Home button in both the Preset Position Setup window and the Live View window. The position's name will have (H) added, e.g. Office Entrance (H).

Sequence Mode

The Live View page can be configured to rotate through the selected preset positions, in a set order or randomly.

Select the desired preset positions and enter the time to display each position. Click Save.

The Sequence buttons will appear on the Live View page to enable the viewer to start and stop the sequence mode.

Advanced - Limits

Define the pan, tilt and zoom limits for the AXIS 214 PTZ. Movements to the left and right, up and down can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance.

Move speed sets the speed of the camera's Pan/Tilt movements. The default setting is maximum speed.

Advanced - Ctrl Panel

This allows you to add a shortcut command button to the control panel. This requires you to provide the URL (path) to an auxiliary command provided by the PTZ driver, or to some other command accessed via the HTTP API. See the online help for more information.
