Page History
Patrolling is the automatic transition of the PTZ camera to the specified presets in the specified order and then returning to the starting position. Intellect supports patrolling for Huawei and ONVIF devices.
Create the necessary presets before setting up patrolling in Intellect. This can be done through the IP device web interface or in the Intellect software itself, for example, using the Universal PTZ control panel (see PTZ control with Universal PTZ control panel).
Creating a route for patrolling
Use the following macro to add a cruise point to the patrolling route (use separate macro for each point):
Parameters description:
Parameter name | Description | Value range |
---|---|---|
Record route | Shows if the point is the last in the route | Yes – this is the last point in the route, save the route No – another point is expected in the route |
Speed | The speed of the camera movement to the specified point | 0 – 10 |
Priority | The priority of the command to rotate to the specified preset. See Priorities of PTZ control | Low Medium High |
Point | The cruise point identifier. Note. If you specify a point number that is more than 1 more than the last one, then the next sequential number will be assigned to the point. For example, point No. 10 cannot be created after point No. 3, the number will automatically be set to 4 | 1 – 31 |
Preset | The ID number of the preset corresponding to the cruise point | 1 – 255 |
Delay | Time period during which the device should stay in the preset | 3 – 3600 |
Route | Patrolling route identification number. The identifiers can be set in no particular order, for example, the route No. 8 can be created before route No. 3 | 1 – 8 |
Running and stopping the patrolling
Run the following macro to start patrolling:
Run the following macro to stop patrolling:
Consider the following aspects while using these macros:
- The Patrol stop macro acts only after the Patrol macro. I.e. if you run the Patrol macro, restart Intellect and then try to run the Patrol stop macro, the latter one will not be run.
- If the route number different from previously started route is specified in the Patrol stop command, the patrolling of the current route will be stopped.
