Advanced
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.
Move speed
sets the speed of the camera’s pan and tilt movements. The default setting is maximum speed.
Select
Enable adjustable zoom speed
to use variable speeds when controlling the zoom with for example a joystick or a mouse wheel.
The zoom speed is automatically set through the command
continuouszoommove
in the VAPIX® Application Programming
Interface (API). Deselect the feature to use the highest zoom speed which is the same speed for moving to presets.
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 speed, i.e. the speed the camera 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 help
for more information.
