To configure Axis guard tours:
1
Open the Axis camera’s Web page.
2
Follow the Axis documentation that comes with your camera to configure the Axis guard
tours (PTZ patterns renamed in Omnicast).
NOTE
Since Omnicast creates empty Axis guard tours (PTZ patterns) when the camera is
added, when you configure the guard tours in the camera’s Web page you are modifying the
existing
Omnicast presets as opposed to adding new ones.
The configured Axis guard tours become available in Omnicast to use as PTZ patterns for the
camera.
After you are done:
Test the Axis PTZ patterns in Omnicast. They should run the same way as
other PTZ patterns.
Edit PTZ presets
You can edit presets that are used in PTZ patterns on Axis cameras. When you make a change
to a preset, it is immediately reflected in the PTZ pattern.
IMPORTANT
Make all of your changes in Omnicast, not in the camera’s Web page.
WARNING
Do not click
Clear (
)
in the Config Tool when editing a preset. Clearing presets
that are included in PTZ patterns on Axis cameras removes all following presets from the pattern,
and prevents any further edits to the pattern. Instead, overwrite an existing preset by recording
over it or editing it, as described in the procedure below.
1
In the PTZ advanced mode commands in Config Tool or Live Viewer, select the preset you
want to edit from the
Presets
drop-down list.
2
With the PTZ controls, adjust the camera position, iris, zoom, and focus settings to the
desired positions.
If you are working in the Live Viewer, you can also click inside the tile and move the camera
to a new position.
3
Click
Set
(
).
The current position and settings of the camera are recorded. Changes to the preset are
reflected for all PTZ patterns that use this preset on the Axis camera.
If a PTZ pattern using the preset is currently playing, it stops. If necessary, restart it. At this
point changes to the preset take effect.
