Using Pan-Tilt-Zoom Devices

There is a wide range of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) devices available on the market today. Some of these can be used with your AXIS 2420 to provide a simple means of remotely aiming and controlling your camera. A PTZ device connects directly to the AXIS 2420 via the RS-232 port or RS-485/422 port on the back panel of the camera. Both ports support the use of these devices, but only one port at a time can be used for the purpose.

Apart from the COM settings shown by default for the COM ports, selecting External Device for the port will also reveal a section called Pan Tilt Settings. The drop-down list allows you to select the driver for your PTZ device. The devices in the list are the ones currently supported by the AXIS 2420. For the latest information concerning supported PTZ drivers, please see the Axis Web at www.axis.com.
