camera comes with built-in PTZ mechanisms.
Preset positions and patrol settings
In the PTZ settings page, you can configure preset positions for the camera to travel through. A total of

actions that occur during the patrol; i.e., pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and the auto pan/patrol.
2. Enter a name for a new preset position, which can contain up to forty characters. Click

to enable
the settings. The preset positions will be listed on the

level for the
