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

Note

You can use a cycle macro to set up patrolling (see Go to preset of a PTZ camera, Wait for timeout, Examples of Cycle rules macros).

Patrolling must be activated in the 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 resumes automatically. If patrolling is turned off in the camera settings, you can turn 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 Roles) can stop patrolling.

Patrolling automatically stops 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).
