PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)

Preset Positions

A preset position is a pre-defined camera
view that can be used to quickly steer the
camera to a specific location.
From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan,
Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the
camera view to the required position.
When satisfied with the camera's position,
enter a descriptive name and click Add.
The camera position, iris and focus
settings are then saved as a preset
position.
The position can be assumed at any time
by selecting the preset's name from the
Available positions drop-down list. Preset
positions can be selected from the Live
View page, from Event Types, Guard Tour and from Gatekeeper.
One position can be set as the Home position, which is readily accessible by clicking the Home button in both the Preset
Positions window and the Live View window. This name will have (H) added, for example, Entrance (H).
AXIS Q6034 can also be configured to return to the Home position when the camera has been inactive for a specified length
of time. Enter the length of time in the field Return to home when inactive and click Save. Setting the time to zero prevents
the camera from automatically returning to the Home position.
Overlay Settings,
The preset position name can be included in the overlay image text, see on page 14.

Auto Tracking

AXIS Q6034 can detect movement in the camera's field of view, for example a moving vehicle or person. If auto tracking is
enabled, the camera will automatically pan and tilt to follow the moving object, or in case there is lots of simultaneous
movement, the area with the most movement. Auto tracking continues until the moving object stops or disappears from the
monitored area. Movement in areas blocked by privacy masks and in exclude areas does not trigger auto tracking.
It is strongly recommended to enable the PTZ Control Queue if Auto Tracking and Guard Tour are simultaneously enabled. In
the PTZ Control Queue, the Guard Tour has lower priority than Auto Tracking so the camera will not abandon Auto Tracking to
start a Guard Tour.
Configuration
Start/Stop Auto Tracking - To enable auto tracking, click Start. To disable auto tracking, click Stop.
Settings - The Movement trigger sensitivity level can be set to Low, Medium or High. Medium is usually a good choice, but in
some situations a low or high sensitivity might be more suitable, depending on the size of the moving objects and the image
contrast.
Exclude Areas
Exclude areas are areas where movement is to be ignored. Note that movement in an area blocked by a privacy mask is always
ignored.
To create an exclude area, click Add area. The area (the blue rectangle) can be resized and moved to the desired position. Enter
a descriptive name and click Save. To enable or disable an area, click the name of the area and click Enable/Disable.
