Associating Preset Positions with Particular Events
When associating a preset position from a particular PTZ camera with one or more events, you are able to
select between
all
events defined on the NetDVR system; you are not limited to selecting events defined on
a particular device.
To associate a particular preset position with a particular event, do the following:
1. Select the required preset position in the
Available Preset Positions
list in the left side of the
Event
window.
2. Select the required event in the list of available events (the list in the middle of the window).
3. Click
the
>>
button located to the right of the
Available Events
list.
This will copy the selected event to the window's rightmost list, in which events associated with the
selected preset position are listed. When the selected event occurs, or when the selected event
button is clicked, the PTZ camera will automatically move to the required preset position.
You are able to associate a preset position with more than one event: Simply repeat the process for each
required association. To end the association between a particular preset position and a particular event,
simply select the required event in the window's rightmost list, and click the
<<
button.
Setup PTZ Patrolling Window
Available only when dealing with a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera, the
Setup PTZ Patrolling
window lets you configure
patrol schemes for PTZ patrolling (the automatic movement of a PTZ camera between several preset positions) for
the camera.

Setup PTZ Patrolling
window

To access the
Setup PTZ Patrolling
window, click the

button in
Patrolling
Preset Positions for [Device Name] [Camera Name]
Note:
To use patrolling, you must have specified at least two preset positions for the PTZ camera in question.
Tip:
Although it is technically not patrolling, specifying a patrol scheme with only one preset position is possible. A
patrol scheme with only one preset position can, when combined with
, 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 PTZ control of the camera.
Note:
When you have defined your patrol schemes, also remember to schedule use of the patrol schemes in the
.
Note:
Bear in mind that patrolling can be overridden if operators (with the necessary user rights) manually control PTZ
cameras.
