Hello All,

Can somebody post suggestions for configuring monitor for Axis 212 PTZ camera?

Viewing is just fine. Unfortunately, PTZ controls don't work...

Control Type - Axix API v2
Control Device - blank
Control Address - username:password@IP:80

Thanks for any suggestions. I currently have 23 cameras on this system. They are all Panasonic. I have purchased Axis strictly for ability to use PTZ controls.

I appreciate any quick responses or suggestions.

Axis ptz is supported out of the the box when you select the ptz option in the options page.

OPT_CONTROL Support controllable (e.g. PTZ) cameras (?)



Then go to the control tab in the camera settings page and select AXIS.

I tried many times and have done everything you have mentioned below.....

Does authentication have anything to do with why it doesn't work? Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to have an Axis camera NOT require authentication - so it could be tested. I'm wondering if a configuration file needs to be edited if the camera requires authentication. I'm willing to provide contact info and/or recipriocate for consultation - if their are those who have time or meaningful suggestions.
