CONFIGURING PRESET TOURS

A preset tour allows a camera to move through a programmed sequence of PTZ presets. The DX8100 Series DVR can store up to four preset tours. While four tours can be programmed, only one tour can be activated at a time. A preset tour will operate continuously until another PTZ control action is performed. At least one PTZ preset must be set in order to create a preset tour.

The PTZ controls are hidden in the extended view mode. In this case, select the standard view mode to display the PTZ controls.

To switch between the standard and extended view mode:

•From the DX8100 menu bar, choose View > Extended View.
