AXIS 214 PTZ 9 Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls The Live View page also displays the Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls. These are enabled/disabled for specified users by the administrator under System Options > Security > Users > User List. The Pan Tilt and Zoom bars control their respective functions in two different ways. Clicking anywhere on the bar's gradient allows for a 'smooth' adjustment of the camera's position, whilst clicking on the arrows at the two ends of the bar causes a stepped, incremental change. Note: Setting the iris and focus manually will disable Auto iris/Auto focus. Control panel Click the Ctrl panel button to display the control panel, which provides the following settings: • Auto focus: Automatically adjusts the image focus. • Auto iris: Automatically adjusts the amount of light reaching the camera and gives the best results, This also protects the image sensor from strong light. • Backlight comp: Enabling backlight compensation makes the subject clearer if the image background is too bright, or if the subject is too dark. • IR cut filter - when set to off, the camera will be able to "see" infrared light, e.g. at night, thus making the image clearer. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off. Set to Auto to automatically turn the filter off when the available visible light falls below the minimum requirement. The control panel can also show custom shortcuts, which are configured from PTZ Configuration > Advanced > Ctrl Panel. Viewer controls The default viewer (for further description see page 24) to use for displaying moving images is selected from Setup > Live View Config > Layout. The AMC viewer toolbar is available in Microsoft Internet Explorer only. See AXIS Media Control, on page 12 for more information.
