Using CGI links to control PTZ devices
User-defined CGI links on the Live View page can be used to issue API (Application Programming Interface) requests, such as
PTZ commands. These links are configured in the Live View Layout settings, see User Defined Links, on page 18.

Click the Center mode button and click on a position in the image to center the camera view on that posi-
tion.
Click the Emulate joystick mode button and click in the image to move the camera in the direction of the
mouse pointer.
Note:
There is also joystick support in AXIS Media Control (AMC).
