About guard tours
A guard tour displays the video stream from different preset positions either in a predetermined or random order, and for configurable
periods of time. Once started, a guard tour continues to run until stopped, even when there are no clients (web browsers) viewing the
images.
The guard tour function in this product includes tour recording. This allows recording a custom tour using an input device, such as a
joystick, a mouse or a keyboard, or through using the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API). A recorded tour is a replay of a
recorded sequence of pan/tilt/zoom movements, including their variable speeds and lengths.
