Name Description
Add New
Add a new patrolling profile to the list. When you add a new
patrolling profile, you can either give it a unique name, or reuse an
existing name from another PTZ camera with PTZ patrolling.
Using several identically named patrolling profiles can be
advantageous when you later configure scheduling. Example: If you
have configured patrolling profiles identically named Night Patrolling
on 25 different cameras, you can schedule the use of Night
Patrolling on all 25 cameras in one go, even though Night Patrolling
covers individual preset positions on each of the 25 cameras.
Delete
Delete an existing patrolling profile. Note that the selected patrolling
profile is removed from the list without further warning.
Patrolling list
Having selected a patrolling profile in the Patrolling profiles list, you can specify which of the PTZ
camera's preset positions to use with the selected patrolling scheme. Use the
button to copy a
selected preset positions to the Patrolling list. To change the sequence of preset positions in the
Preset Positions list, select a preset position, and use the
or buttons to move the selected
preset position up or down in the list. The selected preset position is moved one step per click. If you
later want to remove a preset position from the Patrolling list, select the preset position in question,
and click the
button.
Name Description
Wait time (sec.)
Specify the number of seconds for which the PTZ camera should
stay at each preset position before it moves on to the next preset
position. The default is 10 seconds. The wait time applies to all
presets in the patrolling profile. The PTZ camera stays at each
preset position for the same number of seconds.
Transition time (sec.)
Specify the number of seconds needed for the PTZ camera to move
from one preset position to another. The default is five seconds.
During this transition time, motion detection is automatically
disabled, as irrelevant motion is otherwise likely to be detected
while the camera moves between the preset positions. After the
specified number of seconds, motion detection is automatically
enabled again.
The transition time applies to all presets in the patrolling profile. It is
important that the camera can switch between any of the patrolling
profile's preset positions within the number of seconds you specify.
If not, the system is likely to detect false motion. Note that it takes
longer for the PTZ camera to move between positions that are
located physically far apart (for example from an extreme left
position to an extreme right position) than between positions that
are located physically close together.
PTZ scanning
PTZ scanning (continuous panning) is supported on a few PTZ cameras only. You can enable PTZ
scanning and select a PTZ scanning speed from the list below the check box. PTZ scanning only
