RC-E User Manual
Management Client (RC-E Manager)
Customizing speed for transitions is only supported if your camera supports PTZ scanning and is of the type where
preset positions are configured and stored on the RC-E server (type 1 PTZ camera). Otherwise the
Speed
slider is
grayed out.
You can customize the transitions between each of the preset positions in a patrolling profile. You are able to
customize the following:
The estimated transition time
The speed with which the camera will move during a transition
Which plug-ins to disable during transition.
To customize transitions between preset positions in a patrolling profile, do the following:
1. Select the required patrolling profile in the
Profile
list.
2. Select
the
Customize transitions
check box:
This will add transition indications to the list of preset positions for the selected patrolling profile.
3. In the list, select the required transition:
4. Specify the estimated transition time (in number of seconds) in the
Expected time (secs.)
field:
5. Use
the
Speed
slider to specify the required transition speed. When the slider is in its rightmost position, the
camera will move with its default speed. The more you move the slider to the left, the slower the camera will
move during the selected transition.
Tip:
A number indicating the exact speed is displayed near the top right corner of the slider. When required,
the number (from 0.0001 (very slow) to 1.0000 (default speed)) allows you to define exactly the same custom
speed across transitions.
6. In
the
Plug-ins to disable
list, specify any plug-ins you want to disable during the selected transition. By
default, the plug-in used for motion detection on the camera (
MotionDetectionPlugin
) is disabled in order to
avoid irrelevant motion being detected during transition.
To add a plug-in to the list, click
Add...
, and select the required plug-in. This requires that one or more other
plug-ins are available, and that they can be disabled.
To remove a plug-in from the list, for example if you do not want motion detection to be disabled during the
transition, select the plug-in and click
remove
.
7. Repeat as required for other transitions.
Specifying an End Position
You are able to specify that the camera should move to a specific preset position when patrolling according to the
selected patrolling profile ends.
1. Select the required patrolling profile in the
Profile
list.
2. Select
the
Go to specific preset on finish
check box:
This will open the
Select Preset
dialog.
3. In
the
Select Preset
dialog, select the required end position, and click
OK
.
Tip:
You can select any of the camera's preset positions as the end position, you are not limited to the preset
positions used in the patrolling profile.
