PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)
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.Checkthe
Include text box and enter the modifier #L in the field. For more information about modifiers, see

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 lim it to avoid focusing on o bjects 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.
When using a jo ystick (or emulating one with the mouse) the Enable proportional speed setting can be used to reduce the maximum
pan/tilt movement speed, i.e. the speed the cam era 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.
When Enable Auto-flip is selected, the Axis product will simulate continuous pan movement in the same direction, i.e. the camera
will pan the full 360 degrees, even though there is a mechanical stop at ±180 degrees.
When Enable movement prediction is selected, the Axis product will attempt to predict the new position in the pan movement, after
compensating for the slight delay while the camera changes direction after an auto-flip. This is useful for tracking moving objects or
persons when using the joystick or emulated joystick mode.

take control of the product. The order of priority is as follows:

removed from the queue 60 seconds after the last PTZ control command.
2. Event — The Axis product can be configuredtogotoapresetpositionwhen triggered by an alarm (see

).
The event will immediately be placed first in the queue except when an administrator is in control.
