Disconnected Video Sources
If your Administrator(s) has configured the AXIS 2400 for Quad System display, all Disabled or
Disconnected video Cameras are then displayed with an appropriate text message in the
appropriate display area. Incidents to the contrary; that is, when the display is blank and without
text, may indicate a break in the signal transmission and should be escalated to your system
administrator immediately.
Positional Control of the Video Sources
Video cameras supporting Pan Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) control can be attached and positioned
directly from the supported serial ports (COM 1 and COM 2). Furthermore, the AXIS 2400 can
also control up to two external (standalone) PTZ devices for positioning fixed cameras on your
system. All PTZ devices are steered via the AXIS 2400 Web interface, or TCP application if your
Administrator chooses.

Pan Tilt control may not be available from the user interface, as this utility can be disabled by your
system Administrator.
Clicking any image within your main user interface automatically opens a new window to display a
corresponding single shot Close up image - with Pan Tilt and Zoom bars, as shown below:
