OSDI Zones

On-Screen Direction Indicator (OSDI) zones can be included in the overlay text (see Overlay, on page 19) to aid the user to navigate the Axis product. Each OSDI zone is set up with coordinates and a descriptive name.

OSDI zones are set up under PTZ > OSDI Zones. The Axis product uses the coordinates of the center of the view to set the lower left and upper right zone areas. First navigate to where you would like the lowermost left point of the OSDI zone to be located. Click Get to set the coordinates. Proceed to where the upper right point of zone should be located and click Get. Give the zone a descriptive name and click OK.

To include the name of the OSDI zone in the overlay text, go to Video & Audio < Video Stream < Overlay Settings. Check the Include text box and enter the modifier #L in the field. For more information about modifiers, see File Naming & Date/Time Formats

in the online help .

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.
