4. The selected end position is added to the list of preset positions for the selected patrolling profile. When
patrolling according to the selected patrolling profile ends, the camera will go to the specified end position.
Renaming an Existing Patrolling Profile
1. Select the required patrolling profile in the
Profile
list.
2. Click
Rename
. This will open the
Rename Profile
dialog.
3. In
the
Rename Profile
dialog, type a new name for the patrolling profile.
Tip:
Use a descriptive name; the name of the patrolling profile may later be used in situations where you will
not have access to details about the patrolling profile, e.g. when using the patrolling profile in a
rule
(see
"
Manage Rules
" on page 133).

Specifying Manual PTZ Session Timeout
Patrolling of PTZ cameras may be interrupted manually by Ocularis Client users with the necessary user rights.
You are able to specify how much time should pass before regular patrolling is resumed after a manual interruption:
1. In the Management Client's menu bar, select
Tools
>
Options
. This will open the
Options
window.
2. On
the
Options
window's
General
tab, select the required amount of time in the
PTZ manual session timeout
list (default is 15 seconds).
The setting will apply for all PTZ cameras on your RC-E system.
PTZ Presets Tab (Camera Properties)
The
Presets
tab lets you create preset positions to be used, for example, in rules (see "Manage Rules" on page 133)
for making a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera move to a specific preset position when an event occurs, as well as in
patrolling (see "PTZ Patrolling Tab (Camera Properties)" on page 80), the automatic movement of a PTZ camera
between a number of preset positions.
You manage preset positions on the
Presets
tab, which is available only when the selected camera is a PTZ
(Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera. The
Presets
tab will not be available if the selected PTZ camera does not support preset
positions.
In order to use PTZ cameras' features, including the ability to pan, tilt, and zoom, operators must have a role which
gives them the necessary rights. See About Roles (on page 145) for more information, including step-by-step
descriptions of how to assign users to roles and how to specify the rights of roles.
Adding a Preset Position
As an alternative to defining preset positions in RC-E, preset positions may for some PTZ cameras also be defined on
the camera device itself (typically by accessing a device-specific configuration web page) and imported into RC-E by
selecting
Use presets from device
.
To add a preset position for the camera in RC-E, do the following:
1. Click
Add...
. This will open the
Add Preset
window:
2. The
Add Preset
window displays a preview image from the camera; use the navigation buttons and/or sliders
to move the camera to the required preset position. While you do this, you are able to verify the position of
the camera through the preview image.
3. Specify a name or number for the preset position in the
Name
field.
