Preset positions
Also available with many PTZ devices are Preset positions. These presets are selected from
the drop-down Source list on the Live View page and will move and/or zoom the camera
to a pre-defined position, i.e. to cover an area of particular interest. Events can also be
configured to go to preset positions when triggered. For information on setting up preset
positions, please see Preset positions, on page 34 and the online help.
Guard tour
A guard tour moves between chosen Preset Positions, one-by-one, in a pre-determined
order or randomly, and for configurable time periods. Unlike the Sequence Mode, which is
a viewing application under Live View Config (see Live View Config, on page 20), the
guard tour sequence will keep running after the user has logged off or closed the browser.
Advanced
Device Settings - The device settings window is for driver specific settings, so the
appearance of this window can vary depending on the driver installed. Options that can be
configured include: Driver Specific Settings for Video Source 1, Mechanical Limits for
Moving Video Source 1, Light Control for Video Source 1, and Extended Driver Specific
Settings for Video Source 1.
Ctrl Panel - The Panel View Settings window contains tools for creating and saving short
command buttons that are located under the Control panel. These buttons provide direct
access to various built-in auxiliary commands provided by the PTZ driver and are
displayed in the PTZ Panel.
Limits - Define the pan, tilt, zoom and focus limits for the AXIS 242S IV. Movements to
the left and right, up and down can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance. The
near focus limit can be set to avoid focusing on objects too close to the camera.
