2. On the camera toolbar, click PTZ presets.

4. To edit the name of the preset, ensure the name of the PTZ preset is highlighted and overwrite
the existing name.

the required position and then click Update preset to save.
6. To change the order in which the PTZ presets appear on the list, use the up or down arrows to
move the PTZ presets in the list.
Stop PTZ Patrolling
A PTZ camera can continuously move between a number of presets according to a schedule, but you
can stop PTZ patrolling.
Only stop PTZ patrolling when there is an important reason to do so; PTZ patrolling schedules are
normally carefully planned to meet your organization's surveillance needs.
1. On the Live tab, select the required view.
