preset positions.
About motion detection and PTZ cameras
Motion detection generally works the same way for pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras as it does for regular
cameras. However, you cannot configure motion detection separately for each of a PTZ camera's
preset positions.
In order to activate unwanted recordings, notifications and more, the system automatically disables
motion detection while a PTZ camera moves between two preset positions. After a number of seconds
has passed, the system automatically enables motion detection again. This period of time is known as
the transition time and is specified on the PTZ camera's PTZ patrolling properties.
Configure camera-specific schedules
If you base your schedule profile
—or parts of it—on events within periods of time, remember to select
Start event and Stop event from the lists below the calendar section.
Use the Configure events list, located below the other fields to define events that suit your needs.

camera is recorded. Recording is configured separately, see Configure video and recording (see
"About video and recording configuration" on page 63).
For each camera, you can create schedule profiles based on:
