The Factory Default Settings
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to reset to the
Factory Default
settings
for your AXIS
Panorama PTZ. This is performed by clicking the appropriate button in the
Administration Tools
, or
by pressing the
Control Button
. Follow the instructions below to reset to the product factory default
settings using the Control button:
1. Switch off the AXIS Panorama PTZ by disconnecting the power cable.
2. Press and hold the Control Button depressed, and reconnect the power supply cable.
3. Keep the Control Button pressed until the Status Indicator displays
yellow
(this may take up to
15 seconds), then release the button. When the Status Indicator displays
green
(which can take
up to 1 minute) the camera will then have been reset to the original factory default settings.
Note:
Resetting to the default settings causes all parameters (including the IP address) to be reset.
Focusing the Camera
The AXIS Panorama PTZ can be used indoors, or installed into a weatherproof enclosure for use in
outdoor applications. When mounting the camera behind glass, ensure that the lens is not too far
from the glass - particularly when installing the unit in an outdoor enclosure. This helps reduce
undesirable reflections in the image. For more information on outdoor enclosures, follow the
camera accessory links at www.axis.com
Important!
Although the AXIS Panorama PTZ is intended for indoor and outdoor use, it is important to note that the charged
coupled device (CCD) in the camera can become permanently damaged if it is exposed to too much direct sunlight,
or halogen light. It is therefore important that the Iris Adjustment Ring is not set fully open when installing the
camera in bright light conditions. The Axis warranty does not cover CCD damage caused by prolonged exposure to
strong light.

Rotate the Focus Ring to
an appropriate position -
until you are satisfied with
the focus of the camera
image.

The Iris Adjustment Ring closes and opens the
camera lens to regulate the amount of light enter-
ing the camera. Closing the ring reduces the
amount of light; this protects the CCD and gives a
better depth of field, i.e. focus over a greater dis-
tance. A more open lens provides better results in
low-light conditions. Rotate the Iris Adjustment
Ring to an appropriate position for your chosen
installation, as follows:
• indoor scene - fully open (O)
• outdoor scene - mid position
(between C and O)
