OSD Menu

If the PTZ unit supports an internal configuration menu, this can be accessed using the On-Screen Display (OSD). Configure the analog camera by opening and navigating through its internal menu in this display.

Install PTZ Driver

This Axis product supports several PTZ devices. Please see www.axis.com for a complete list of supported devices, and to obtain the correct driver. To install a PTZ device you need to install the PTZ driver.

To install the PTZ driver go to PTZ> Driver Selection. Browse to find the driver (e.g. driver.ptz) and Upload. If the driver was successfully uploaded, it appears in the Select driver to use drop-down list. From this drop-down list, select the driver to install or remove, and click Save.

Select Activate PTZ to enable PTZ. The address of the connected device appears against Device ID. Choose the Device type from the drop-down list. To find which device type to use, consult the documentation supplied by the PTZ driver.

To complete the installation go to System Options > Ports & Devices > COM Port (see COM Port) and verify the settings.

Control Queue

Note

•The administrator can enable and disable PTZ controls for selected users.

•To identify different users in the viewer group, cookies must be enabled on the client.

•The Control queue polltime is measured in seconds. For more information see the online help .

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 44) 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 36). 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.

This capability reduces the need for constant monitoring, automatically notifying users of potential security breaches or events of interest.

In terms of connectivity, the Axis Q7401 is designed to integrate seamlessly with Axis' network video products. Its compatibility with various Axis applications enhances its functionality, allowing for advanced analytics and intelligent features that can further enhance security measures.

The robust design of the Q7401 ensures reliability in various environments. Its compact form factor allows for easy installation in space-constrained locations, and it operates efficiently in temperature variations, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Additionally, the device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying the installation process by allowing both power and data transmission through a single cable, thus reducing the amount of wiring required.

Overall, the Axis Communications Q7401 is an excellent choice for organizations looking to upgrade their surveillance systems to meet modern security demands while benefiting from advanced features and reliable performance.
