AXIS M5000 PTZ Camera
The web interface
Motion
Proportional speed: Turn on to set the maximum proportional speed.
• Max proportional speed: Set a value between 1 and 1000 to limit the pan and tilt speed. Max proportional speed is
defined as a percentage, where the value 1000 equals 1000%.
This is useful when the joystick is pushed all the way out. For example, if the image is approximately 44 degrees wide
when fully zoomed out and the max proportional speed is set to 100 (100%), the maximum speed is about 44
degrees/second. If the image is then zoomed in from 44 to 10 degrees wide, the maximum speed reaches about 10
degrees/second, which is probably too fast for easy viewing. To limit the speed, set the max proportional speed to 50
(50%). This way, the maximum speed only reaches 50% of the maximum for the currently selected zoom level. This
means that when the image is 44 degrees wide, the greatest possible speed is limited to about 22 degrees/second, and
when the view is zoomed in to 10 degrees the speed is limited to about 5 degrees/second.
Adjustable zoom speed: Turn on to use variable speeds when controlling the zoom with a joystick or a mouse wheel. The zoom
speed is automatically set through the command continuouszoommove in the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface
(API). Turn off to use the highest zoom speed which is the same speed for moving to presets.
Freeze image on PTZ
• Off: Never freeze image.
• All movements: Freeze the image while the camera is moving. Once the camera reaches its new position, the
view from that position is shown.
• Preset positions: Freeze the image only when the camera moves between preset positions.
Pan-tilt speed: Select the speed of the camera's pan and tilt movements.
Gatekeeper
A gatekeeper monitors an area such as an entrance gate. When motion is detected in the monitored area, the gatekeeper steers
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.
Control queue
User control queue
• PTZ control queue: Turn on to place PTZ control requests in a queue. This displays the users status and position in the
queue. To use the PTZ controls in AXIS Camera Station, turn off this setting.

• The user groups are listed in a prioritized order with the highest priority on top. To change the priority of a user
group, click

Settings
• Limit number of users in queue: Set the maximum number of users allowed in a queue. The default number is 20,
and allowed values are 1–100.
• Control queue poll time: Set how often to poll the camera to update the place of the users or user groups in the
queue. The default value is 20 seconds, and allowed values are from 5 seconds to 60 minutes.
Enter queue: Click to add your request for PTZ control to the queue.
Release control: Click to release the PTZ control.
and drag the user group up or down.
Timeout duration: Set the amount of time to wait before timeout. The default value is 1 minute, and
allowed values are from 1 second to 60 minutes.
Timeout type
Timespan: Time out after reaching the set duration.
Activity: Time out after reaching the set duration since the last activity.
Infinity: Never to time out until a user with higher priority takes control.
