PTZ Camera
IndigoVision PTZ cameras use many of the same settings as other High Definition IP cameras. The following settings
are only available to PTZ cameras.
Creating PTZ Tours
For PTZ cameras, you have the option of running Tours from the Live View page. Tours allow the PTZ camera to
automatically move between a series of preset positions, and can be set to pause at each preset for a specific amount
of time for video monitoring.
Note: All the required presets must be added before a new tour can be created. For more information, see
