AXIS 243Q Blade - Pan Tilt Zoom

PTZ controls

If the AXIS 243Q Blade has been appropriately configured, the Live View page displays the

controls available for the installed Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) device. The administrator can

enable/disable the controls for specified users.

The exact controls shown depends on the make

and model of PTZ device. The most

common controls are:

• the Pan bar - moves the camera to the ri

ght and left

• the Tilt bar - tips the camera up and down

• the Zoom bar - zooms the view in and out. Note that this is only available if the

camera is fitted with a zoom lens.

• the Iris bar - adjusts the brightness of the image.

Clicking on the bars themselves or on the arrows

at the end of the bars will move the

camera to a new position. The type of movement and the location of this new position

depends on the type of PTZ driver.

When controlling the camera using a relative

PTZ driver (see the bars in the illustration

above) the new position is relative to the previous position, that is, left of, below, above,

and so on. Clicking the bar further from the center results in a larger movement.
