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.
Configure the near focus limit to avoid focusing on objects 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 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.
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 displayed in the PTZ control panel, which is available in the Live View page through
the
Ctrl panel
button, see
page 11
.
Deselect the options under
Enable/Disable controls
to disable the pan, tilt, zoom and focus controls.
Note
Disabling PTZ controls will not affect preset positions. For example, if the tilt control is disabled, the product can still move to
preset positions that require a tilt movement.
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 View page offering one viewer exclusive control for a limited period of time. Other users will be placed in queue.
A user who belongs to a group (see
Users, on page 42
) 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 follows:
1.
Administrator
— An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is first in queue. The administrator will be
removed from the queue 60 seconds after the last PTZ control command.
2.
Event
— The Axis product can be configured to go to a preset position when triggered by an alarm (see
Events, on page 35
).
The event will immediately be placed first in the queue except when an administrator is in control.
3.
Operator
— Same as administrator but with lower priority
4.
Guard Tour
— A guard tour (see
page 28
) has PTZ control for an indefinite period of time. It may be overridden by an
operator, event or administrator. 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.
