AXIS Q8665-LE PTZ Network Camera
About PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)
How to set the home position
The Home position is readily accessible by clicking the Home button on the live view window and in the Preset Positions setup window.
To set a customized home position, select Use current position as Home when adding a preset position. The user-defined home
position will have (H) added, for example, Entrance (H). The default Home position, called "Home", will still be available.
The product can be configured to return to the Home position when the PTZ functionality has been inactive for a specified length
of time. Enter the length of time in the Return to home when inactive field and click Save. Set the time to zero to prevent the
product from automatically returning to the Home position.
About the focus window
The focus window makes it possible to select an area of the camera's image to which that focus should be applied. This can be useful
if there is a part of the image where focus is more critical, or if a part of the image should be ignored by the autofocus.
When the focus window is set from the Live View page, any change in the camera position will return the autofocus to the entire
window.
When clicking the Focus Window button in the preset position page, the most recently set focus window from the Live View
page appears.
If you set the focus window from the preset positions page, it is included in the settings for that preset. The focus window can be
redefined for the preset, but it cannot be deleted unless the preset is deleted.
Gatekeeper
The Gatekeeper monitors an area such as an entrance gate. When motion is detected in the monitored area, the Gatekeeper will steer
the camera to a selected preset position. Using a zoomed-in preset position can make it possible to, for example, read a license plate
or identify a person. When motion is no longer detected, the camera returns to its Home position after a defined time.
To enable the Gatekeeper, go to PTZ > Gatekeeper and follow the online instructions.
It is also possible to, for example, record video or save images (take a snapshot) while the Gatekeeper is active. Go to Events
and set up an action rule with PTZ Preset Reached as trigger.
