Go To Preset
All PTZ cameras connected to the Video Gateway that support presets are listed below
this heading. If you want one of these cameras to automatically aim at a preset location
when a motion detection event begins, beside the name of the camera, select the number
of the preset location.
Note:
Preset locations are defined and assigned numbers using a client application such
as SVMultiClient. For additional information, please refer to the relevant client application
guide.
Note:
If no PTZ cameras are connected to the unit, this field does not appear.

On Motion Ended
, select the actions that the Video Gateway should perform when a motion detection
event ends, as described above.
Configuring Video Lost
The Video Gateway monitors the camera connections. If the video signal from a camera is lost – i.e., the Video
Gateway is not receiving video from it, either because of a malfunction in the camera, or because the camera has
been disconnected from the unit or from its power source – the unit can respond in any or all of the following ways:
Upload video of the event to an FTP server on the internet (see
Automatically Uploading Video to an AVV
, page 67). If e-mail notification recipients are defined in the
SMS and E-mail
screen, an e-mail
message is sent to all the recipients when the Video Lost event begins and a second e-mail is sent when the
video is successfully uploaded and is available for downloading by users. Each e-mail notification includes a
link to the video file on the server and a picture of the event.
Send event notifications to the SMS and/or e-mail recipients defined for the system (see
, page 61). If AVV is activated, e-mail notifications include a link to video of the event that
includes the seconds preceding the time when the video signal was lost (the
pre-record
; see
, page 104). Video-Restored e-mail notifications can optionally include a picture of the event.
Turn an activator on or off.
Move any PTZ camera connected to the Video Gateway that supports presets to a preset location.
These actions can be implemented when the event begins, when it ends, or both.
To configure video lost detection:
1. In the
Camera
configuration screen, under
Video Lost
, select the actions that the Video Gateway should
perform if video reception from the camera is interrupted, as described below.
