To install the PTZ driver go to
PTZ
>
Driver Selection
.
Browse
to find the driver (e.g. driver.ptz) and
Upload
. If the driver was
successfully uploaded, it appears in the
Select driver to use
drop-down list. From this drop-down list, select the driver to install
or remove, and click
Save
.
Select
Activate PTZ
to enable PTZ. The address of the connected device appears against

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 37
) 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 31
).
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
