The PTZ control or Priority parameter (depending on the type of the object) gives the privileges to control PTZ devices when several interface objects are used or several users control the same PTZ device simultaneously.

To configure interface objects used for PTZ control the value of PTZ control priority is to be selected in the list.

The PTZ control parameter is set for the following objects:

  1. Surveillance monitor;
  2. Telemetry control;
  3. Telemetry control panel.

Note

The priority of PTZ control with joystick equals the priority of PTZ control with Surveillance monitor and mouse.

Priority parameter of PTZ control can be:

  1. Control is forbidden (Forbidden). This item forbids PTZ control.
  2. Low (Low priority). PTZ control is the last in the queue after the “normal” and “high” priorities. It is the lowest in the queue in PTZ control.
  3. Normal (Normal priority). PTZ is controlled after the device with “high” priority. It is higher in the queue in PTZ control than any device with “low” priority.
  4. High (High priority). This item is set as first in the queue in PTZ control. It is the highest in the PTZ control queue.

Contextual menu of selecting the PTZ control priority for the Monitor interface object is called PTZ control and consists of Forbidden, Low priority, Normal priority and High priority items:

The panel for selecting the PTZ control priority for the Telemetry control panel interface object and Telemetry remote control system object is called Priority and consists of Forbidden, Low priority, Normal priority and High priority items:

If the same PTZ device is controlled from several workstations with the interface objects of the same type with the same PTZ control priority, then the following rules apply:

  1. Any user can control a PTZ device when it is not controlled by another user with the interface of the same control priority.
  2. If a user who controls interface object with a higher priority delegates control to a user who controls interface object with a lower priority, then this procedure is delayed. The priority delay time is set with the help of the tweaki.exe utility (Axxon PSIM Advanced Setup).

To change the priority delay time using the tweaki.exe utility, do the following:

  1. Run the tweaki.exe utility in the Tools folder of the Axxon PSIM™ software installation directory.
  2. Select the PTZ section (1).
  3. Specify the value of PTZ control priority delay in the Delay by priority (ms) field (2). 
    The delay parameter is given in milliseconds. The default value is 30000.
  4. Click the OK button to save the changes (3).

Note

When the objects are configured with variable PTZ priority controls, it is recommended to assign different PTZ control priorities to different system objects (object types). If different system objects have the same PTZ control priority, problems may occur in operation, especially in controlling the PTZ devices.
