Description 

Note: 

If Auto Switching is selected, the system switches to a scene automatically when the 
condition for switching to the scene is met. By default, the auto-switching list includes 
the default scene. 

Setup 

Click 

 to  set  conditions  for  auto-switching,  including  schedule,  illumination,  and 

current elevation (angle between the PTZ and the horizontal direction). It means that 
auto-switching is triggered only when illumination and the current elevation during 
the set time period meet the set conditions. A condition is invalid if both the start and 
end values are set to 0. 

 

3.

 

Select a scene and then click 

 to set it as the default scene. 

4.

 

If auto-switching is enabled, the camera can switch to the scene automatically 
when the condition for switching to a non-default scene is met. Otherwise, 
the camera remains in the default scene. When auto-switching is not enabled, 
the camera remains in the current scene. 

 

NOTE! 

If Auto Switching is enabled (scene settings will be unavailable), the device will switch between the 
set scenes. If not, the device will stay at the current scene. The device will stay at default scenes unless 
the non-default scenes are triggered. 

If  multiple  non-default  scenes  are  triggered,  then  the  device  will  switch  to  the  scene  with  the 
minimum number (starts from 1 to 5).
