PTZ presets and tours
Presets are previously defined locations of an analog PTZ dome camera. It allows you
to quickly move the PTZ dome camera to a desired position. They are configured and
modified from the Camera Setup > PTZ Presets/Tours window (see Figure 22 below).
Tours are series of presets. Shadow tours allow you to record the manual movement of
a PTZ and follow the same tour at a later date.
Note:
The PTZ dome camera used must be able to support a preset command. See
Appendix D “Supported PTZ commands” on page 151 for the complete list of PTZ
commands available by camera protocol.
