Patrols / Tours

 

A patrol (tour) uses presets which are points which the PTZ will go to during a tour. The dome will move to a maximum of 32 preset positions using the dwell times as set in the Patrol Table.

 

The speed of dome movement between any two presets can be set from 000 ~ 063.

 

A patrol (tour) can run for an extensive length of time with a dwell time of a maximum of 240 seconds at each of the preset positions.

 

Up to eight different patrols (tours) can be stored each with different preset parameters. When a preset is added zoom and position is stored.

 

Each preset added (see Presets), will automatically be inputted into patrol 1. As default the speed which the PTZ moves to the preset is 50,  time set to each position is set to 10 seconds.

 

To start patrol 1 call preset 35.

 

See Preset Function Table for more patrol preset numbers.
