
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.
Note: You can reuse the names of patrolling profiles defined for other cameras. This allows
you to use a single patrolling profile name across several PTZ cameras, and can make
scheduling (see "PTZ patrolling" on page 136) of PTZ patrolling much easier. Even though
several PTZ cameras share a patrolling profile name, the movement between preset positions
is individual for each camera.
Preset positions to use in a patrolling profile
Having selected a patrolling profile in the Patrolling profiles list, you can specify which of the PTZ
camera's preset positions should be used for the selected patrolling scheme:
1. In the Preset Positions list, select the preset positions you want to use. A preset position can
be used more than once in a patrol scheme, for example if the preset position covers an
especially important location.
Tip: By pressing the CTRL button on your keyboard while selecting from the Preset Positions
list, you can select several or all of list's preset positions in one go.
2. Click the button to copy the selected preset positions to the Patrolling list.
3. The camera will move between preset positions in the sequence they appear in the Patrolling
list, starting at the preset position listed first. If you want 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.
Wait and transition timing for a patrolling profile
ame 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.
