Setting and calling up preset tours
Preset tours move a PTZ dome camera to different steps. The camera stays at a step
for a set dwell time before moving on to the next step. The steps are defined by presets
(see “Setting and calling up presets” on page 84).
Each preset tour consists of steps. A step consists of a step number, a dwell time, and
a speed.
The step number is the order the camera will follow while cycling through the preset
tour. The dwell time is the length of time for which a camera stays at a step before
moving to the next one. The speed is the rate at which the camera will move from one
key point to the next.
Note: The PTZ dome camera used must be able to support a preset tour command.
