Typical layout styles are featured below but these examples should not be interpreted as an exhaustive library of available style formats. Typical Quad Image Style Typical Single Image Style 36 Using the Video Server Disconnected Video Sources AXIS 2400/2401 Administration Manual All Disabled or Disconnected video cameras are displayed with an appropriate text message in single-display viewing areas; that is, when a source other than VIDEO ALL is specifically selected. A blank display - without text, may indicate a break in the signal transmission; such incidents should be escalated to your system administrator immediately. Positional Control of the Video Sources Video cameras supporting Pan Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) control can be attached and positioned directly from the supported serial ports (COM 1 and COM 2). Furthermore, the AXIS 2400/2401 can control up to two external (standalone) PTZ devices for positioning fixed cameras on your system. All PTZ devices can be steered via the AXIS 2400/2401 Web interface, or TCP application if your Administrator chooses. Using the Pan Tilt and Zoom Toolbars Clicking a specific Video button, other than Video All, automatically displays pan-tilt-configured video sources in a single-image format that features Pan, Tilt and Zoom bars, as shown below: Select Preset Position To enable quick and accurate camera positioning, the Administrator can define within server memory, up to 20 preset camera positions. Presets positions are established and saved as named entities by your Administrator and can be re-established at any time from the drop-down dialog.
