Name Description
Delete
Only available when you have selected PTZ type 1 or 3. Lets you
delete an already defined preset. In the list, select the preset
position you want to delete, then click the button.
Before you delete a preset position, make sure it is not used in PTZ
patrolling or PTZ on event. Since the preset positions are stored on
the camera, you can bring a deleted preset position back into
Milestone Husky product by clicking the Import / refresh button. If
you bring back a preset position this way, and the preset position is
to be used in PTZ patrolling or PTZ on event, you must manually
configure PTZ patrolling and/or PTZ on event to use the preset
position again.
Test
Try out a preset position. In the list, select the preset position you
want to test, then click the button to view the camera move to the
selected position.
PTZ control wheel
Lets you move a preset position selected in the list up and down
respectively. The selected preset position is moved one step per
click. By moving preset positions up or down, you can control the
sequence in which preset positions are presented in clients.
PTZ patrolling
PTZ-related properties are only available when you are dealing with a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera.
PTZ patrolling is the continuous movement of a PTZ camera between a number of preset positions
(see "PTZ preset positions" on page 100). To use patrolling, you should normally have specified at
least two preset positions for the relevant PTZ camera.
To configure PTZ patrolling, select a patrolling profile in the Patrolling profiles list and specify
relevant properties to define the exact behavior of the patrolling profile. When you have defined your
patrolling profiles, remember to schedule (see "PTZ patrolling" on page 136) the use of patrolling
profiles. Note that if users manually operate PTZ cameras, this can override patrolling.
Tip: You can specify a patrolling profile with only one preset if needed. Such a patrolling profile can be
useful in two cases: For moving a PTZ camera to a specific position at a specific time, and for moving
a PTZ camera to a specific position upon manual control of the PTZ camera.
Cameras that do not support multiple simultaneous video streams cannot connect to the surveillance
server and the Management Application at the same time. Therefore, Milestone recommends that you
stop (see "Start and stop services" on page 170) the Recording Server service when you configure
such devices for motion detection and PTZ. See also View video from cameras in Management
Application (on page 195).
Patrolling profiles
A PTZ camera may patrol according to several different patrolling profiles. For example, a PTZ camera
in a supermarket may patrol according to one patrolling profile during opening hours, and according to
another patrolling profile when the supermarket is closed.
From the Patrolling profiles list, select which patrolling profile to configure.
