AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - Accessing the camera The Live View page The following provides an overview of each button on the Live View page. Depending on how the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E has been customized, some or all of the following buttons will be displayed: The Video Format drop-down list allows the video format in the Live View page to be temporarily changed. The two types of Output button (AXIS 215 PTZ only) each control the output directly from the Live View page. These are configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout. Pulse - click this button to activate the output for a defined period of time, e.g. to switch on a light for 20 seconds. Active/Inactive - click these buttons to manually start and stop a connected device, e.g. switch a light on/off. These buttons start/stop the Sequence Mode which automatically displays the view from preset positions at set intervals. Sequence mode is configured in Setup > PTZ Configuration > Sequence Mode. The source list is used to select the preset positions already configured in the camera. These are created in Setup > PTZ Configuration > Preset Positions. The Manual trigger buttons trigger an action directly from the Live View page. These buttons are configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout. Click these buttons to manually start and stop events. Use the Snapshot button to capture a snapshot of the image currently displayed in the window.
