PTZ Controls
AXIS Camera Station has two types of pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) controls; Mechanical and Digital. Mechanical is for PTZ cameras,
while Digital can be used with any camera.
Mechanical - PTZ cameras can be controlled with the PTZ Control panel. Select a PTZ
camera by clicking in its Live View.
The camera can now be directed to move according to the buttons clicked on in the PTZ
control. The center buttons "+" zooms the view in and "-" zooms the view out again. To direct
the camera using the mouse cursor, click in the image to direct the camera and use the scroll
wheel to zoom in or out.
Note: Pan, tilt and zoom can also be achieved by clicking in the image and navigating the
camera with the cursor and zooming in and out with the mouse's wheel. For information on
using the AXIS 295 Surveillance Joystick see page 29.
Digital - If the selected camera does not have mechanical PTZ support, use the digital PTZ tool to pan, tilt and zoom in the
live view image. Click in the camera's live view and then either the zoom in or out buttons represented by magnifying glasses.
Use the navigation box that appears in the lower right-hand corner of the live view or the red navigation box in the PTZ
controls to pan and tilt in the live view image. Click on the navigation box and with the left mouse button pressed drag the
box to the desired location in the image. It is also possible to a zoom in the image using the mouse wheel.
