AXIS P7210 Video Encoder
PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)
Advanced
Limits
De
fi
ne 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.
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 con

Deselect the options under

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
) 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
fi
rst 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 con
fi
gured to go to a preset position when triggered by an alarm (see ). The event will
immediately be placed
fi
rst 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 ) has PTZ control for an inde
fi
nite 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.
Note
• The administrator can enable and disable PTZ controls for selected users.
• To identify different users in the viewer group, cookies must be enabled on the client.
