AXIS Q6045-C PTZ Dome Network Camera

PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)

It is also possible to, for example, record video or save images (take a snapshot) while the Gatekeeper is active. Go to Events and set up an action rule with PTZ Preset Reached or Autotracking as trigger.

Note

Autotracking

The Axis product can detect movement in the field of view, for example a moving vehicle or person. If autotracking is enabled, the Axis product will automatically pan and tilt to follow the moving object. In case there is much simultaneous movement, the area with the most movement will be followed. Autotracking continues until the moving object stops or disappears from the monitored area. Movement in areas blocked by privacy masks and in exclude areas does not trigger autotracking.

It is strongly recommended to enable the PTZ Control Queue if autotracking and guard tour are enabled simultaneously. In the PTZ Control Queue, guard tour has lower priority than autotracking, so autotracking will not be abandoned to start a guard tour.

Configuration

Start/Stop Autotracking - Click Start to enable autotracking. To disable autotracking, click Stop.

Settings - The Movement trigger sensitivity level can be set to Low, Medium or High. Medium is usually a good choice, depending on the size of the moving objects and the image contrast, a low or high sensitivity might be more suitable.

Exclude Areas

Exclude areas are areas where movement is to be ignored.

Note

Movement in an area blocked by a privacy mask is always ignored.

1.Click Add area to create an exclude area

2.Resize and move the area (the blue rectangle) to the desired position.

3.Enter a descriptive name and click Save.

To remove an area, click the name of the area and click Remove. To enable or disable an area, click the name of the area and click Enable/Disable.

Max Limits

The pan and tilt limits restrict the area where autotracking is allowed. The area beyond the set limits will be ignored. This may prove useful, for example, to avoid tracking birds in the sky. Between the pan start and end limits, autotracking is allowed going clockwise. The illustrations show the difference between setting a range from 135° to 45° (1) and a range from 45° to 135° (2).

1.Select Enable tilt limit and Enable pan limit respectively to enable the tilt and pan limits.

2.Enter the Tilt angle and Pan limit values, or click the links and move the blue horizontal and vertical bars in the preview window until satisfied.

3.Click Save.
