AXIS Q7414 - PTZ

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 page 19.

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 view 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 Panel View Settings window contains tools for creating and saving short command buttons that are

located under the Control panel. These buttons provide direct access to various built-in auxiliary commands provided by the

PTZ driver and are displayed in the PTZ Panel.

Using PTZ on video inputs 2-4 (AXIS 291 1U Video Server Rack)

Although AXIS Q7414 only supports an RS-485 port on video input 1 if it is mounted into an AXIS 291 1U Video Server Rack,

it is still possible to use PTZ devices on video inputs 2-4 by creating virtual connections to these inputs from video 1 (See

assignments for the I/O Connector of AXIS 291 1U Video Server Rack, on page 46). To do this, follow these steps:

1. Configure PTZ on video input 1 and install the required PTZ driver. This step is always required, whichever video

input you intend to use for PTZ, and is described in detail in Installing the PTZ driver. Refer also to Pin assignments

for the I/O Connector of AXIS 291 1U Video Server Rack, on page 46.

2. Repeat this procedure and install the same device driver on the other video inputs you wish to use PTZ on.

3. Enter the same Authentication key as configured for video input 1. This will prevent unauthorized access to the

RS-485 port.

PTZ devices on inputs 2-4 are configured in the same way as a device on video input 1.
