Axis 26720r1 User Manual

Preset Positions - a preset position is a pre-defined camera view than can be used to 

quickly move the camera to a specific location.

From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera 

to the required position. When satisfied with the camera's position, enter a descriptive 

name. 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 

Preset positions drop-down list. Preset 

positions can be selected in Live View, 

from events, in Sequence mode and in 

the Guard Tour.

One position can be set as the Home 

position, which is readily accessible by 

clicking on the H button in both the Preset 

Position Setup window and the Live View 

window. The position's name will have (H) 

added, e.g. Office Entrance (H).

Guard Tour
A guard tour displays the video streams from different preset positions from cameras in the 

system, one-by-one, in a pre-determined order or randomly, and for configurable time 

periods. Once the preset position has been set, and added to the guard tour, the following 

settings can be made:

• View Time in seconds or minutes 
• Move Speed - sets the speed of the Pan/Tilt movements to the preset position
• View Order (or Random)

Pan Tilt Zoom
For an overview of Pan Tilt Zoom controls, see page 25.

Limits
Define the pan, tilt, zoom and focus limits for the AXIS 231D+/232D+. Movements to the 

left and right, up and down can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance. The 

near focus limit can be set to avoid focusing on objects too close to the camera.

Once a limit has been saved, this position can not be exceeded by the AXIS 231D+/232D+ unless the values 
have been reset and saved to a greater value first (i.e. reset the default values of the mechanical restric-
tions).

Move speed sets the speed of the camera's Pan/Tilt movements. The default setting is 

maximum speed.
