Using Patterns, Presets, and Scans

Using Patterns, Presets, and Scans

With the DVR5100 you can activate patterns, presets, and scans. A pattern is a user-defined, viewable camera path with a beginning and end. The number and duration of patterns varies with different positioning systems. A preset action forces a camera with PTZ capability (pan, tilt, and zoom) to reposition itself on a specific scene, such as a door. A scan action moves a camera across the current scene that it is viewing from a predetermined starting point. For a description of the types of scan actions you can perform, refer to Activating Scans on page 44.

Patterns, presets and scans can be activated automatically or manually from the DVR5100. Patterns and presets must be pre-programmed from the DVR5100 Remote Client application. A user must have administrator permissions to program the movements of PTZ cameras and to automate other system activities in response to alarms or other events.

This section describes how to operate the DVR5100 to run patterns, presets, and scans and is organized into the following topics:

•Activating PTZ Patterns, below

•Stopping a Pattern on page 43

•Activating Presets on page 43

•Activating Scans on page 44

ACTIVATING PTZ PATTERNS

A pattern is a user-defined, viewable camera path with a beginning and end. The number and duration of patterns varies with different position- ing systems.

NOTE: The instructions in this manual refer to the DVR5100 Control Pad. An optional KBD5000 keyboard or USB PC keyboard and mouse also can be used to operate the DVR5100 instead of the Control Pad.
