Axis Communications 215 PTZ-E Manuale Utente

A preset position is a pre-defined camera view than can quickly and easily be viewed.

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. This camera position is then saved 

as a preset position. 

The AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E will take the exact position 

when the preset's name is selected from the Preset positions 

drop-down list. Preset positions can be selected in Live View, 

from events and in Sequence mode.

One position can be set as the Home position, which is readily 

accessible by clicking on the Home 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).

The Live View page can be configured to rotate through the 

selected preset positions, in a set order or randomly.

Select the desired preset positions and enter the time to display each position. Click Save.

The Sequence buttons will appear on the Live View page to enable the viewer to start and stop the 

sequence mode.

On-Screen Direction Indicator Zones are areas that you define with coordinates and a descriptive name. These 

zones can then be included in the Image text to aid the viewer in navigating the camera.

The camera uses the coordinates of the center of the image to set the lower left and upper right zone areas. First 

navigate where you would like the most lower left point of the OSDI Zone to be located. The coordinates are set 

by clicking on the Get button. Proceed to where the upper right point of the zone should be located and click on 

the corresponding Get button. Give the zone a descriptive name and go to Overlay Image Settings, on page 13 

for information about including the name of OSDI Zone in the Image text.

Define the pan, tilt and zoom limits for the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E. Movements to the left and right, up 

and down can be restricted to narrow the area under surveillance.

The image is automatically flipped over (E-flip) e.g. when the target moves under the camera and then 

moves on. In situations where E-flip is not desired, set the Lower limit to -90°, which will disable this function.

Move speed - sets the speed of the camera's Pan/Tilt movements. The default setting is maximum speed.
Enable proportional speed - when using a joystick (or emulating one with the mouse), this setting can be used 

to reduce the maximum pan/tilt movement speed, i.e. the speed the camera moves at when the joystick is pushed 

all the way out in any pan/tilt direction. This is useful when the camera is zoomed in on an object and a pan/tilt 

movement is performed

Auto-flip - the AXIS 215 PTZ will simulate continuous pan movement in the same direction, i.e. the camera will 

pan the full 360 degrees, even though there is a mechanical stop at ±170 degrees.  

This is achieved by reversing the camera lens and flipping it over when the camera reaches the mechanical stop. 

There will be a slight delay during the lens reversal.
