or
o After a certain number of seconds has passed without further detection of motion
3. Specify the number of seconds for the selected option (default is ten and five seconds
respectively).
4. Unless the transition time is set to zero, the system automatically disables motion detection
while the camera moves between preset positions, as the system is likely to detect irrelevant
motion otherwise while the camera moves between the preset positions.
Resume PTZ patrolling
The system automatically pauses PTZ patrolling when users operate the camera manually as well as if
PTZ on Event is in use. You can specify how many seconds should pass before the system resumes
regular patrolling after a manual or event-based interruption. The default is 30 seconds.
Apart from manual control, users of XProtect Smart Client can also stop a selected PTZ camera's
patrolling entirely. For XProtect Smart Client users, the number of seconds specified in the Patrolling
settings section therefore only applies when users manually control a PTZ camera and not when
users stop a PTZ camera's patrolling entirely. When XProtect Smart Client users stop a PTZ camera's
patrolling entirely, the camera's patrolling resumes only when the XProtect Smart Client user selects to
resume it.
PTZ on event
PTZ-related properties are only available when you are dealing with a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera.
When a PTZ camera supports preset positions (see "PTZ preset positions" on page 100), you can
make the PTZ camera automatically go to a particular preset position when a particular event occurs.
When associating events with preset positions on a PTZ camera, you can select between all events
defined on your system. You are not limited to selecting events defined on a particular hardware
device.
1. In the Events list in the left side of the window, select the relevant event.
2. In the PTZ Preset Position list in the right side of the window, select the relevant preset
position. For this purpose, you can only use an event once per PTZ camera. However, use
different events for making the PTZ camera go to the same preset position.
Example:
o Event 1 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A
o Event 2 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position B
o Event 3 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A
If later you want to end the association between a particular event and a particular preset position,
clear the field containing the event.
After you have made the PTZ setting changes, restart services (see "Start and stop services" on page
170).
Cameras that do not support multiple simultaneous video streams cannot connect to the surveillance
server and the Management Application at the same time. Therefore, Milestone recommends that you
stop (see "Start and stop services" on page 170) the Recording Server service when you configure
