USING PATTERNS, PRESETS, AND SCANS

The DVR5100 remote client allows you to program the movements of PTZ-enabled cameras using patterns, presets, and scans. Patterns, presets, and scans may be set and activated directly from the video pane (as described below). You may also activate patterns and presets using the DVR5100 remote client’s scripting feature (refer to Creating Scripts on page 102 and Executing Scripts on page 33).

Patterns

A pattern is a memorized repeating of a series of pan, tilt, and zoom movements that can be recalled with a controller command. The type of camera positioning system determines the number of patterns that can be recorded and activated. Refer to each camera’s programming manual for more information.

1.Right-click in the video pane to show the shortcut menu.

The user interface of the DVR5100 is designed with simplicity in mind, offering intuitive navigation through its menus and settings. This ease of use is complemented by comprehensive search features, enabling quick retrieval of recorded videos based on time, date, or event type.

In summary, the Pelco DVR5100 is a robust digital video recorder that excels in providing high-quality surveillance capabilities, advanced compression technologies, and user-friendly features.
