The settings panel of the PTZ device object

The PTZ device object is used to register and configure the PTZ device in Axxon PSIM.

The settings panel of the PTZ device object is shown in the figure.

The Main tab

The table describes the parameters of the settings corresponding to the elements of the settings panel of the PTZ device object.
