Important!

Notes:

•Setting the Pan Tilt Address to 255 causes the control signals to be broadcast to all connected 

devices.

•Check the user documentation supplied with your Pan Tilt device for detailed information.

Generic Serial Port Control using HTTP

The AXIS 2400/2401 supports input/output operations on the serial ports via the HTTP protocol. 
The functionality can be used for adjusting the video camera position 

or

 for controlling a simple 

device, such as a relay switch. The schematic diagram below illustrates the logical elements for such 
a configuration:

Follow the instructions below to configure serial port control for use with the HTTP protocol: 
1. Click the 

Generic

 icon within the graphic user interface.

2. Set the HTTP radio button.

3. Click 

Save

.

The Pan/Tilt port is now enabled for input/output operations via HTTP.

Although many of the supported drivers have been tested and found to work satisfactorily with the 
AXIS 2400/2401, Axis cannot guarantee the compatibilty of all drivers, conforming or otherwise, to a 
specific manufacturer’s protocol.
