Overview

AXIS T8412 is a battery-powered handheld device that greatly simplifies the field installation of both Axis network cameras and analog cameras. It displays live video from a camera and makes setting a camera's viewing angle and focus at the installation site easier than with the use of a laptop or remote computer. It offers user-friendly features such as touchscreen, zoom and snapshot functions. AXIS T8412 can connect directly to a camera, or to a network and search for Axis network video products. An Axis camera with built-in PoE support can even be powered directly by AXIS T8412, giving installers greater flexibility.

- Simplifies setting the camera's viewing angle and focus

The live video display and zoom functions help installers to adjust the field of view and set and test the camera focus.

• Power over Ethernet for powering cameras

AXIS T8412 delivers PoE to Axis network video products with PoE support either from the unit's battery or from PoE by-pass. This allows network cameras with PoE to be powered up and tested without extra tools or the need for electricity and network infrastructures at the installation site.

- User-friendly

AXIS T8412 Installation Display has user-friendly functions that greatly simplify camera setup. For example, the touchscreen monitor is simple and convenient to use at awkward installation locations. Full zoom in the image is via a simple tap on the touchscreen.

- Snapshot function

AXIS T8412 allows installers to take snapshots of images the network camera delivers as proof of finalized installation. The snapshots from network cameras can be saved to USB, Micro SD card, or AXIS T8412.

• Supports both Axis network video products and analog cameras

AXIS T8412 Installation Display supports Axis network cameras and encoders, as well as analog cameras through a BNC connector. AXIS T8412 is shipped with both an Ethernet cable and a BNC cable.

Viewing images

With AXIS T8412 Installation Display you can connect to a camera either through Connect or Device Search for viewing images, see Connect and Device Search, on page 11. The default view from the camera is at a relatively low resolution. When zooming into the view (see Digital zoom below) the camera's own default resolution is used instead, to provide greater detail.

Press the ESC key on the AXIS T8412 front panel at any time to exit the viewing screen.

Digital zoom, PT mode, and Flip view - all cameras

Zoom - Tap ZOOM on the screen for digital zoom. This will show the image at the camera's own default resolution, to allow fine adjustment of the focus.

PT Mode - While digitally zoomed into the view from the camera, the navigation keys can be used to move around in the image. The letters PT (Pan/Tilt) indicate that this is enabled. The arrows and digits at the bottom of the screen indicate the current position.

Flip view - Press and hold the Up and Down navigation keys to flip the view 180 degrees. Press again to flip back again.

DC-Iris cameras

If the camera has a DC-Iris, this can be disabled for focusing by holding down the L and R navigation keys at the same time. Repeat to enable the DC Iris again.

Remote focus cameras

For cameras that support remote focus, this is controlled by the following:

• Press and hold the L and R navigation keys to start the focus procedure. This also automatically disables the DC-Iris. Press and hold the L and R keys again to re-enable the DC-Iris.
• Press and release the L or R key for single small focus steps.
• Press and hold the L or R key for continuous large focus steps.

When digitally zoomed into the image, tap the ZF (Zoom/Focus) indicator/switch to switch to PT (Pan/Tilt) mode.

Cameras with optical zoom

For cameras that support optical zoom, this is controlled by the following:

• Press and hold the Up or Down navigation key for continuous optical zoom, in or out.
• Press and release the Up or Down navigation key for optical zoom in single steps, in or out.

When digitally zoomed into the image, tap the ZF (Zoom/Focus) indicator/switch to switch to PT (Pan/Tilt) mode.

PTZ cameras

When connected to a mechanical PTZ camera, the PTZ functions can be controlled by the following:

• Tap the direction arrows on the screen to pan and tilt the view.
• Press and hold the Up or Down navigation key for continuous optical zoom, in or out.
• Press and release the Up or Down navigation key for optical zoom in single steps, in or out.

Tap ZOOM on the screen for digital zoom, which will show the image at the camera's default resolution. Since the camera has mechanical Pan/Tilt functionality, the digital PT mode is not available.
