The PTZ subsystem encompasses all the tools that provide for remote control of a PTZ device and the lens of a video camera.

In the Axxon Next software package, the Telemetry system object enables the functions of the PTZ subsystem. You can access these functions through the PTZ device control panel.

Note

You can also control a PTZ device with a physical USB joystick (the system automatically determines when such a device is connected to a computer with Axxon Next installed)

Thanks to Axxon Next's PTZ subsystem, the user can utilize the following functions:

  1. Setting and using preset video camera positions (presets)
  2. Automatic modification of video camera position along a route offered in the camera's list of presets (patrolling)
  3. Controlling a video camera's lens: Modifying the parameters of the iris, focus, and optical zoom
  4. Manual modification of a video camera's horizontal and vertical tilt angle using a virtual joystick
