Baud rate selection.
The Vicon PTZ unit will automatically detect the baud rate (4800, 9600 or 19200 baud) when it receives commands. Some commands may be required before the baud rate is detected and synchronized.  
Selection of "Use extended commands".
Some new Vicon PTZ units may support extended PTZ commands. Select "Use extended commands" if this is supported by the PTZ unit. Without "Use extended commands", only 10 preset positions are supported. To open the on-screen display menu (see below), "Use extended commands" is also required.  
Focus and autofocus functions.
Select "Focus enabled" if manual focus function is required. After the manual focus function has been utilised autofocus (if supported by the device) will be enabled after a zoom movement only.  
Auxiliary commands.
To use the relay 1 output available in the unit, auxiliary commands are provided.

The base URL looks like the following: http://<axis-videoserver-ip>/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?camera=<n>&auxiliary=<relay-command>

<axis-videoserver-ip> specifies the IP-address of the Axis Video Server.

<n> specifies the camera number(default = 1) in the Axis Video Server.

<relay-command> is specified as follows:
relay1
toogle the relay 1 on and off (see parameter "Relay1 on time" below).
relay1:on
Activates relay 1
relay1:off
Dectivates relay 1

Limitations for the relay 1 output.
If the PTZ-unit use "latching" function for the relay output, then the relay output will toogle state every time the command is changing from "off" to "on" (nothing will happen when changing from "on" to "off"). If the PTZ-unit use "momentary" function for the relay output, then the auxiliary command "relay1" will activate the relay 1 output during the time specified in the parameter "Relay1 on time" (see below). If supported by the PTZ-unit, setting "latching" or "momentary" function for the relay 1 ouput can be done in the on-screen display menu (see below).

Parameter Description Range
Move speed The current maximum pan and tilt speed. 1-100
Pan move time per degree Panning 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be re calibrated. Calibration is done by requesting a 360 deg. pan (i.e. "rpan=360") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 360 degrees. If pan speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(pan speed). 1-500000
Tilt move time per degree Tilting 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be re calibrated. Calibration is done by requesting a 90 deg. tilt (i.e. "rtilt=90") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 90 degrees. If tilt speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(tilt speed). 1-500000
Zoom time The calibration constant for zoom (time in ms for maximum zoom change). Higher values give greater zoom changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum zoom request (i.e. "rzoom=9999") at one extreme (e.g. zoom wide) takes you to the other. 1-65535
Focus time The calibration constant for focus (time in ms for maximum focus change). Higher values give greater focus changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum focus request (i.e. "rfocus=9999") at one extreme (e.g. focus wide) takes you to the other. 1-65535
Current field angle The calibration constant for click-in-picture (center). Higher values give greater movements. Calibrate at minimum zoom (i.e. zoom wide) and at the most commonly used speed, by making sure that clicking on an object brings the object to the center of the image. 1-1800
Pan bar range Range (in degrees) to use with "panbar" requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will pan half this value in the corresponding direction. 1-720
Tilt bar range Range (in degrees) to use with "tiltbar" requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will tilt half this value in the corresponding direction. 1-720
Goto preset delay Time (in seconds) it takes for the image to stabilize it self, after the camera has performed the longest "goto preset action". Used for disabling/enabling image analysis (e.g. motion detection). 0-100
Relay1 on time Time (in milliseconds) for activation of the relay 1 output when using the auxiliary command "relay1" (see above). The value "0" means as fast as possible. 0-5000
