ame Description
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.
Tip: Note that wait time and transition time settings are tied to the selected patrolling profile. This
allows you the flexibility of having different wait time and transition time settings for different patrolling
profiles on the same camera.
PTZ scanning
PTZ scanning (continuous panning) is supported on a few PTZ cameras only.

PTZ scanning: Only available if your camera supports PTZ scanning. Lets you enable PTZ
scanning and select a PTZ scanning speed from the list below the check box.
Note that PTZ scanning only works for PTZ type 1 cameras (where preset positions are configured
and stored on the Milestone Husky product server). If the camera is a PTZ type 2 camera, and you
import preset positions which have previously been defined and stored on the PTZ camera itself
through the camera's own configuration interface, PTZ scanning will stop working. For more
information about PTZ types, see PTZ preset positions (on page 100).
Pause PTZ patrolling
PTZ patrolling pauses automatically when users operate the camera manually as well if your system is
using PTZ on Event (on page 105). If the system detects motion, it may also pause PTZ patrolling.
Tip: Note that pause settings are tied to the selected patrolling profile. This allows you the flexibility of
having different pause settings for different patrolling profiles on the same camera.
Pause patrolling if motion is detected
To pause PTZ patrolling when the system detects motion, so that the PTZ camera remains at the
position where the system detected motion for a specified period of time, do the following:
1. Select the Pause patrolling if motion is detected check box.
2. Select whether the PTZ camera should resume patrolling:
o After a certain number of seconds has passed since first detection of motion, regardless
whether further motion is detected
