(7) Patrol Function Setting (PATROL)
The patrol function remembers manual operations for
later automatic playback when they are needed.
1. Aim the camera, with the menu closed, at the start
point of the routine you want it to remember.
2. Move the cursor to NUMBER, and then tilt the joystick
left or right to specify the number of patrol routines.
Tilting the joystick cycles through settings in the
sequence shown below. The amount of storage
time available depends on the number of routines.
The storage time display changes in the sequence
shown below. (unit: sec, min)
1(2MIN) ↔ 2(1MIN) ↔ 4(30S)
Note that the total patrol time is two minutes, and the
time allowed for each routine depends on the number
of patrol routines that are configured. The values in
parentheses indicate the time of each patrol routine
(two minutes for one pattern, one minute each for two
patterns, 30 seconds each for four patterns).

through 4), and then tilt the joystick left or right to
select a patrol setting.

for storing movements.

Notes:
• Selecting LEARN to teach the camera a patrol
routine causes the following parameters to be
stored along with the camera movements.
(1) Parameters at the Beginning of the Routine
• PAN, TILT, ZOOM, and FOCUS positions
• IRIS level
• Shutter speed (SHUTTER)
• Gain (AGC) setting
• Electronic sensitivity enhancement (SENS
UP) setting
• White balance (WHITE BAL) setting
• IMAGE HOLD
• AREA TITLE
• PRIVACY ZONE
• CAMERA ID
• PAN LIMIT
• ZOOM LIMIT
• TILT ANGLE
• BURST
• CLEANING
(2) During Camera Movement
• PAN, TILT, ZOOM, and FOCUS positions
• IRIS operation
• Preset positioning
• The auto-focus function does not work during
patrol operations. The image goes out of focus
when the camera zooms in from a wide angle
(WIDE), this is caused by the zoom lens
mechanism. The fuzziness in the image can be
reduced by starting from a telephoto angle
(TELE) when registering a zoom operation.
• In the patrol play mode, the camera movement
may occasionally deviate from the entered
routine when the routine includes a move to a
preset position. If this happens, re-enter the
routine of manual operations for patrol-learn.
• In the patrol play mode, black and white
automatic switching does not work.
• In the patrol play mode, when the power of the system
controller is turned on or off, the patrol play stops. In
this case, press the PATROL PLAY button again. (If
SELF RETURN is set to ON, the patrol play will start
again after elapsing the setting return time.)
• Patrol movement covers a range from horizontal
to directly below the camera. The digital flip
function (page 37) does not operate.
