Preset Positions

A preset position is a pre-defined camera

view that can quickly and easily be

viewed, simply by selecting the preset's

name. To create a preset position:

1. Using the Pan, Tilt and Zoom

(PTZ) controls, move the camera view

to the required position.

2. When satisfied with the camera’s

view, enter a descriptive name for

the position in the Current position field.

3. If required, check the Use current position as Home box option (AXIS P3343/AXIS P3344).

4. Click Add. This position is then saved as a preset position in the camera. The position can be assumed at any time, by

selecting it from the drop-down list of available positions. Presets can be selected in from the Live View window, from

Events, from Guard Tour, and in Sequence mode.

You can set a position as the Home position, which is readily accessible by clicking on the Home button in both the

Preset Positions window and the Live View window. The position's name will have (H) added after it. For example,

Office Entrance (H).

You can return the network camera to the overview image after a set time of viewing a preset position. The interval is

configurable from 0 seconds (i.e. disabled) to 300 seconds. The default interval is 30 seconds.

Guard Tour

A Guard Tour displays the video streams from different preset positions, one-by-one, in a pre-determined order or at random,

and for configurable time periods. Once the preset position has been set, and added to the guard tour, you can decide the

viewing time in seconds or minutes in the Guard Tour Setup window. You can also decide the order in which you will view

these presets, or you can choose a Random view order in this same window.

Advanced

The Control Settings enable managing the different controls provided for PTZ.

The Panel Shortcut Command Buttons are controls for creating and saving Panel Shortcut Command Buttons. These buttons

provide direct access to various built-in auxiliary commands provided by the PTZ driver. The buttons are displayed in the PTZ

Panel, which can be viewed in the Live View page by clicking the Ctrl panel button.
