Milestone XProtect Basis+ 6.5; Administrator’s Manual
Note: To use preset positions on events, you must have specified input or VMD events (see page
74), or event buttons (see page 84) Only one PTZ preset position can be defined per event per
camera.
Associating Preset Positions with Particular Events
When associating a preset position from a particular PTZ camera with one or more events, you are
able to select between all events defined on the XProtect Basis+ system; you are not limited to
selecting events defined on a particular device.
To associate a particular preset position with a particular event, do the following:
1. Select the required preset position in the Available Preset Positions list in the left side of
the Event window.
2. Select the required event in the list of available events (the list in the middle of the
window).
3. Click the >> button located to the right of the Available Events list.
This will copy the selected event to the window’s rightmost list, in which events associated
with the selected preset position are listed. When the selected event occurs, or when the
selected event button is clicked, the PTZ camera will automatically move to the required
preset position.
You are able to associate a preset position with more than one event: Simply repeat the process
for each required association.
To end the association between a particular preset position and a particular event, simply select
the required event in the window’s rightmost list, and click the << button.
iPIX Camera
Configuration Window
Note: Use of the IPIX technology requires a
dedicated IPIX camera or a special IPIX camera
lens with a special IPIX license key, specified in
the Edit Device Settings window (see page 34).
IPIX is a technology that allows viewing of 360-
degree panoramic images through an advanced
“fish eye” lens. The iPIX Camera Configuration
window lets you configure the IPIX functionality of a camera.
You access the iPIX Camera Configuration window from the Camera Settings for [Device Name]
[Camera name] window (see page 39), by selecting the Enable iPIX check box, and clicking the
iPIX Settings... button.
IPIX View Adjustment
The camera’s IPIX functionality is configured by adjusting its IPIX view field—indicated by a green
ellipse in the preview image—so it encloses the actual image area of the “fish eye” lens. You do this
by specifying a number of values which will be used by the IPIX technology for converting the
elliptic image into an ordinary rectangular image.
