AXIS P7224

PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)

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 sp ee d, i.e. the s pee d the c amera 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 h elp

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 disp layed in the PTZ control panel, which is available in the Live View page through

the Ctrl panel button, see page 10.

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

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 V iew page offering one viewer exclusive control for a limited perio d of time. Other users will be placed in queue.

A user who belongs to a group (see Users, on page 30) 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 follow s:

1. Administrator — An administrator takes o ver PTZ control regardless of who is ﬁrst in queue. The adm inistrator will be

removed from the queue 60 seconds after the last PTZ contro l command.

2. Event — The Axis pro duct can be conﬁguredtogotoapresetpositionwhentriggered by an alarm (see ). The event will

immediately be placed ﬁrst in the queue except when an administrat or is in control.

3. Operator — Same as administrator but with lower priority

4. Guard Tour — A guard tour (see ) has PTZ co ntrol for an indeﬁnite period of time. It may be overridden by an operator,

event or adm inistrator. 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.
