AXIS 212 PTZ/-V - PTZ Configuration

PTZ Configuration

In the PTZ Settings web page you can enable digital PTZ and create Preset Positions. You can also set the maximum zoom rate

in Live view.

Preset Positions

A preset position is a pre-defined camera view

that can quickly and easily be viewed.

From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and

Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera to the

required position. When satisfied with the

camera's position, enter a descriptive name. This

camera position is then saved as a preset position.

AXIS 212 PTZ/-V will take the exact position when

the preset's name is selected from the Preset

position’s drop-down list. Preset positions can be

selected in Live View, from events and in

Sequence mode.

One position can be set as the Home position,

which is readily accessible by clicking on the

Home button in both the Preset Position Setup

window and the Live View window. The position's name will have (H) added, for example, Office Entrance (H).

You can return AXIS 212 PTZ/-V 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 from cameras in the system, one-by-one, in a

pre-determined order or randomly, and for configurable time periods. Once the preset position has been set, and added to the

guard tour, the following settings can be made:

• View Time in seconds or minutes

• View Order (or Random)

Advanced - Ctrl Panel

This allows you to add a shortcut command button to the control panel on the Live View page. This requires the URL (path) to

the command accessed via the HTTP API. See the online help for more information.
