USING PATTERNS, PRESETS, AND SCANS
The DVR5100 remote client allows you to program the movements of PTZ-enabled cameras using patterns, presets, and scans. Patterns, presets,
and scans may be set and activated directly from the video pane (as described below). You may also activate patterns and presets using the
DVR5100 remote client’s scripting feature (refer to Creating Scripts on page 102 and Executing Scripts on page 33).
Patterns
A pattern is a memorized repeating of a series of pan, tilt, and zoom movements that can be recalled with a controller command. The type of
camera positioning system determines the number of patterns that can be recorded and activated. Refer to each camera’s programming manual
for more information.
