Patrolling is an automatic change in the position of a camera along a route defined in the camera's presets list.

Note

You can use a cycle macro to set up patrolling (PTZ camera tour, see Switching to a PTZ camera preset, Wait for timeout, Cyclical macros).

Patrolling must be activated in camera settings (see The PTZ Object). In this case, the operator can stop patrolling by clicking the Patrol button on the PTZ control panel. After the manual PTZ control session is over, patrolling will resume automatically.

If patrolling is switched off in camera settings, you can switch it on by clicking the Patrol button.

Attention!

Manual control takes priority over automatic control. Any interference in the patrolling process cancels it.

To stop patrolling, click the Patrol button again.

Note

Any user (regardless of priority, see Creating and configuring roles) can stop patrolling.

Patrolling will automatically stop when a manual PTZ control session is over, or after you close the PTZ control panel.

Note

Control session automatically stops after a set idle time (see Configuring PTZ control).
