PTZ and motion search
Video recorded while a PTZ dome or camera can be searched for motion. When the camera is
fixed, results are as expected; see
on video recorded as a PTZ camera is panning, tilting or zooming. If you plan to use motion
search on a PTZ camera, use "Stay put" or a preset after close of session. See table 6–2.
Motion search can also be used to find out when a PTZ camera was moved, if that camera should
be staying put.
Constant panning and video archive
Recording a video feed from a camera that pans constantly requires much more storage. If the
duration of your video archive is a concern, see Quality, p. 126.

Return to auto-focus. Has no effect on the Ultrak KD6i dome.
Do not use the "Return To Auto-Iris" on Ultrak KD6i domes.
Support for RapidDome PTZ Features
A Multi SA can preset a RapidDome PTZ dome, using View software, for:
Mimic tours. A mimic tour recalls the commands to pan, tilt and zoom, that were sent to a
RapidDome camera. Mimic tours are also known as path tours.

Comment / Behavior
The camera remains in the last position used by the operator. If it is
panning, it keeps on panning; if it is not moving, it stays that way, and so
on. The "stay put" behavior makes available the Return to Auto-iris and
Return to Auto-focus options.
The camera returns to "preset 1" configured using Multi. See the
procedure:
To Configure a Preset on a PTZ
configuring the first preset of a PTZ camera.
Some camera models can be programmed to move independently when
not in use by an operator. For information on how to program a PTZ tour,
see the documentation that came with the domes connected to the Multi-
Media unit.
