Limits

Define the pan, tilt, zoom and focus limits for the Axis product. Movements to the left and right, up and down, can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance.

Configure the near focus limit to avoid focusing on objects too close to the camera lens.

Move speed sets the speed of the camera’s pan and tilt movements. The default setting is maximum speed.

When using a joystick (or emulating one with the mouse) the Enable proportional speed setting can be used to reduce the maximum pan/tilt movement speed, i.e. the speed the camera view moves at when the joystick is pushed all the way out in any direction. This is useful then the view is zoomed in on an object.

See the online help for more information.

Controls

Panel Shortcut Command Buttons can be configured to provide direct access to commands issued via the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface. The buttons will be displayed in the PTZ control panel, which is available in the Live View page through the Ctrl panel button, see page 11.

Deselect the options under Enable/Disable controls to disable the pan, tilt, zoom and focus controls.

Note

Disabling PTZ controls will not affect preset positions. For example, if the tilt control is disabled, the product can still move to preset positions that require a tilt movement.

Control Queue

The administrator can set up a queue for PTZ controllers from PTZ > Control Queue. Once set up, the PTZ Control Queue buttons appear in the Live View page offering one viewer exclusive control for a limited period of time. Other users will be placed in queue.

A user who belongs to a group (see Users, on page 42) with a higher PTZ priority can go before other users in the queue and take control of the product. The order of priority is as follows:

1.Administrator — An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is first in queue. The administrator will be removed from the queue 60 seconds after the last PTZ control command.

2.Event — The Axis product can be configured to go to a preset position when triggered by an alarm (see Events, on page 35). The event will immediately be placed first in the queue except when an administrator is in control.

3.Operator — Same as administrator but with lower priority

4.Guard Tour — A guard tour (see page 28) has PTZ control for an indefinite period of time. It may be overridden by an operator, event or administrator. The guard tour will resume when higher priority groups leave the queue.

5.Viewer — Multiple viewers must wait for their turn. The viewer has 60 seconds PTZ control before control is passed on to the next viewer in queue.

P5414E specifications

The Axis Communications P5414E is a high-performance pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) network camera designed for versatile surveillance applications. Ideal for outdoor environments, this camera combines advanced imaging technology with sophisticated features, catering to the needs of security professionals looking for reliable performance.

One of the standout features of the P5414E is its 720p resolution capability, providing clear and sharp images for effective monitoring. The camera is equipped with a powerful 18x optical zoom, enabling users to zoom in on specific areas without losing image quality. This is particularly useful in scenarios where detailed surveillance is crucial, such as monitoring large open spaces or capturing high-definition images of distant subjects.

The P5414E employs Axis’ streaming technology, allowing for smooth and efficient video transmission over the network. It supports multiple H.264 and Motion JPEG streams, enabling users to customize the stream quality depending on their networking conditions and storage needs. This flexibility is essential for optimizing bandwidth usage while maintaining image fidelity.

For nighttime surveillance, the P5414E incorporates advanced infrared (IR) technology, allowing it to capture high-quality images even in low-light conditions. With a built-in IR illuminator, the camera can provide visibility in complete darkness, ensuring continuous monitoring around the clock.

The camera's rugged design is specifically built to withstand harsh weather conditions. It includes an IP66-rated housing, making it resistant to dust and water ingress, while also operating effectively in a temperature range of -40°C to 50°C (-40°F to 122°F). This durability makes the P5414E suitable for a variety of challenging environments.

In addition to its robust features, the P5414E includes Axis’ advanced analytic functionalities, such as digital auto tracking and motion detection. These features enhance the camera's capability to alert users of suspicious activities in real time, significantly improving the effectiveness of security operations.

Moreover, the camera is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation and reducing the need for multiple cables. This integration of power and data transmission through a single cable not only streamlines setup but also ensures a more efficient and reliable operation.

The Axis Communications P5414E represents the pinnacle of surveillance technology, combining high-resolution video, robust features, and practical design to meet the demands of modern security environments. Its cutting-edge technologies provide users with the tools needed for comprehensive monitoring and effective response to security threats.
