Axis Communications 215 PTZ-E Benutzerhandbuch

The following provides an overview of each button on the Live View page. If the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 

PTZ-E has been customized, the buttons will be displayed accordingly:

The Video Format drop-down list allows the video format on the Live View page to be 

temporarily changed. 

 

These buttons start/stop the Sequence Mode which automatically displays the view from preset 

positions at set intervals. Sequence mode is configured in Setup > PTZ Configuration > Sequence 

Mode.

The source list is used to select the preset positions already configured in the camera. These 

are created in Setup > PTZ Configuration > Preset Positions.

The Manual trigger buttons trigger an action directly from the Live View page. These buttons are 

configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout. Click these buttons to manually start and 

stop events.

Use the Snapshot button to capture a snapshot of the image currently being displayed in the 

window. Right-click on the image to save it in JPEG format on your computer.

Area Zoom
This allows you to draw a box over a desired area to zoom into. In order to fine-tune the precision, Area zoom 

should be calibrated from Setup > PTZ Configuration > Advanced > Calibration.

To activate Area Zoom on the Live View page, click the Center mode button in the AMC viewer toolbar (in 

other Internet browsers choose PTZ > Center). Click in the image and while holding down the left mouse 

button, draw a square over the area you would like to zoom into.  

 
Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls
The Live View page also displays the Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls. These are enabled/disabled for specified 

users by the administrator under System Options > Security > Users > User List.

See also  Advanced - Limits, on page 21 for information on E-flip, proportional speed and Auto-flip 

(PTZ 

Configuration > Advanced > Limits.)

The two types of Output button (AXIS 215 PTZ only) each control the output directly from the Live 

View page. These are configured under Setup > Live View Config > Layout.

Pulse - click this button to activate the 

output for a defined period of time, e.g. 

to switch on a light for 20 seconds.

Active/Inactive - click these buttons to 

manually start and stop a connected device, 

e.g. switch a light on/off.
