1. Administrators - An administrator takes over PTZ control regardless of who is first in queue. The administrator
will be removed from the queue 60 seconds after their last PTZ control command.
2. Event - The AXIS Q7406 can be set up to take control of the queue and move to a specific position for 20 seconds
when triggered by an alarm. The event will immediately be placed first in the queue, except when an
administrator is in control. For more information, see Triggered Event, on page 18.
3. Operator - Same as administrator, but with lower priority.
4. Guard Tour - A guard tour has PTZ control for an indefinite period of time. It may be overridden by an Operator,
Event or administrator. Guard Tour will resume when higher priority groups leave the queue. For more information
see Guard tour, on page 23.
5. Viewer - Multiple viewers must wait for their turn. The viewer has 60 seconds PTZ control before control is passed
to the next viewer in queue.

PTZ controls
If the video encoder has been appropriately configured, the Live View page displays the controls available for the installed Pan
Tilt Zoom (PTZ) device. The administrator can enable/disable the controls for specified users.
The controls shown depends on the make and model of PTZ device. The most common controls are:
• the Pan bar - moves the camera to the right and left
• the Tilt bar - tips the camera up and down
• the Zoom bar - zooms the view in and out. Note that this is only available if the camera is fitted with a
zoom lens
• the Iris bar - adjusts the brightness of the image
