AXIS P5415-E PTZ Dome Network Camera
About PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)
To set a customized home position, select
Use current position as Home
when adding a preset position. The user-defined home
position will have (H) added, for example, Entrance (H). The default Home position, called “Home”, will still be available.
The product can be configured to return to the
Home
position when the PTZ functionality has been inactive for a specified length
of time. Enter the length of time in the
Return to home when inactive
field and click
Save
. Set the time to zero to prevent the
product from automatically returning to the
Home
position.
About the focus window
The focus window makes it possible to select an area of the camera’s image to which that focus should be applied. This can be useful
if there is a part of the image where focus is more critical, or if a part of the image should be ignored by the autofocus.
When the focus window is set from the Live View page, any change in the camera position will return the autofocus to the entire
window.
When clicking the
Focus Window
button in the preset position page, the most recently set focus window from the Live View
page appears.
If you set the focus window from the preset positions page, it is included in the settings for that preset. The focus window can be
redefined for the preset, but it cannot be deleted unless the preset is deleted.
Gatekeeper
The Advanced Gatekeeper monitors an area such as an entrance gate. When motion is detected in the monitored area, the Gatekeeper
will steer the camera to a selected preset position. Using a zoomed-in preset position can make it possible to, for example, read a
license plate or identify a person. When motion is no longer detected, the camera returns to its Home position after a defined time.
To enable the Gatekeeper, go to
PTZ > Gatekeeper
and follow the online instructions.
It is also possible to, for example, record video or save images (take a snapshot) while the Gatekeeper is active. Go to
Events
and set up an action rule with
PTZ Preset Reached
as trigger.
