AXIS Q7404 - Pan Tilt Zoom
OSD Menu
If the PTZ unit supports an internal configuration menu, this can be accessed using the On-Screen Display (OSD). Configure
the analog camera by opening and navigating through its internal menu on this page.
Control Queue
The PTZ control queue gives one user exclusive access to the PTZ controls for a limited amount of time, placing other users in
queue. To keep their place in the queue, waiting clients must regularly poll the video encoder. The polltime and the maximum
number of users allowed in the queue can be configured on this page.
A user who belongs to a group (see Security, on page 32) with a higher PTZ priority can go before other users in the queue and
take control of the video encoder. The order of priority for taking control of the queue is as follows:
1. Administrators - An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is first in queue. The administrator
will be removed from the queue 60 seconds after their last PTZ control command.
2. Event - The video encoder can be configured to go to a preset position when triggered by an alarm (see Events, on
page 20). The event will immediately be placed first in the queue, except when an administrator is in control.
3. Operator - Same as administrator, but with lower priority.
4. Guard Tour - A guard tour has PTZ control for an indefinite period of time. It may be overridden by an operator,
event or administrator. The guard tour will resume when higher priority groups leave the queue. For more
information see Guard tour, on page 28.
5. Viewer - Multiple viewers must wait for their turn. The viewer has 60 seconds PTZ control before control is passed
to the next viewer in queue.
Notes:
• To identify the different users in the viewer group, cookies must be enabled on the client.
• The administrator can enable or disable PTZ control for selected users.
