PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom)

Limit the pan, tilt, and zoom movements
As an example, you might need to protect the privacy of residents living in apartment buildings located close to a parking lot that
you wish to surveil. To do this, you can limit the pan, tilt, and zoom movements, so that the view does not cover the apartment
buildings. Go to Settings > PTZ > Limits.
About guard tours
A guard tour displays the video stream from different preset positions either in a predetermined or random order, and for configurable
periods of time. Once started, a guard tour continues to run until stopped, even when there are no clients (web browsers) viewing the
images.
How to create a guard tour with preset positions
1. Go to Settings > PTZ > Guard tours
2. Click +.
3. Select Preset position.
4. To edit the guard tour's properties, click
5. Type a name for the guard tour and specify the pause length in minutes between each tour.
6. If you want the guard tour to go to the preset positions in a random order, turn on Shuffle.
7. Click Done.
8. Click Add to add the preset positions that you want in your guard tour.
9. Click Done to exit the guard tour settings.
10. To schedule the guard tour, go to System > Events.
About autotracking
Autotracking detects movement in the camera's field of view, for example a moving vehicle or person, and follows the moving object
until it stops or disappears from the monitored area. In case there is much simultaneous movement, the product selects the area with
the most amount of motion. When there are no moving objects in the field of view, the camera returns to the home position.
Important
• The autotracking feature is designed for areas where there is a limited amount of movement.
• If both autotracking and guard tour are enabled, we recommend using the PTZ control queue. In the control queue,
guard tour has lower priority than autotracking, preventing the product from stopping autotracking to maintain or start
a guard tour.
• Autotracking does not follow object behind privacy masks or objects in exclude areas. You can also set up maximum limits
so that the autotracking only triggers within a certain range in the live view.
How to set up the wiper
1. Go to Settings > System > Accessories.
