Control Panel - Axis Q7401 User Manual

Using CGI links to control PTZ devices
User-defined CGI links on the Live View page can be used to issue HTTP API requests, such as PTZ commands. These links are
configured in the Live View Layout settings, see Live View Config, on page 18.
PTZ control modes
The PTZ device can also be controlled using click-in-image movement, which has two different types of navigation - Center
and Joystick.
Center mode means that when clicking in the image, the camera view centers on the absolute position that was clicked.
Joystick mode moves the camera in the direction of the mouse pointer. By clicking and holding the mouse button down in the
image, the PTZ device moves the camera in that direction, relative to the center of the image. The farther from the center the
image is clicked, the greater the movement. The camera stops moving when the button is released.
Note:
There is also joystick support in AXIS Media Control (AMC).

Control panel

The focus and iris (image brightness) can be adjusted manually by using the control bars, or they can be set for automatic
adjustment, by clicking the Auto iris and Auto focus buttons.
Note:
These buttons appear only if the PTZ driver installed supports them.
To access the Auto iris and Auto focus buttons, click on the Control panel button. The menu to
the right will then appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
There are also driver specific shortcuts that can appear in the Control Panel. In the screen to the
right, a driver has been installed that brings up the Wiper shortcut button, which allows the user
to configure and use a windshield wiping action with the video encoder.
