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. 26
