2.Click the Video tab.

Table 6–2 Position after Close of Session, for PTZ Cameras

At Session End	Comment / Behavior
Stay put	The camera remains in the last position used by the operator. If it is
	panning, it keeps on panning; if it is not moving, it stays that way, and so
	on. The “stay put” behavior makes available the Return to Auto-iris and
	Return to Auto-focus options.
Go to preset 1	The camera returns to “preset 1” configured using Multi. See the
	procedure: To Configure a Preset on a PTZ Camera, on p. 91 for
	configuring the first preset of a PTZ camera.
Start tour 1*	Some camera models can be programmed to move independently when
	not in use by an operator. For information on how to program a PTZ tour,
	see the documentation that came with the domes connected to the Multi-
	Media unit.

*A “PTZ tour” differs from: (a) site tours (see Touring Many Sites) and (b) local camera tours using a monitor at the Multi-Media site.

PTZ and motion search

Video recorded while a PTZ dome or camera can be searched for motion. When the camera is fixed, results are as expected; see Motion Search, on p. 120. However, motion search is ineffective on video recorded as a PTZ camera is panning, tilting or zooming. If you plan to use motion search on a PTZ camera, use “Stay put” or a preset after close of session. See table 6–2.

Motion search can also be used to find out when a PTZ camera was moved, if that camera should be staying put.

Constant panning and video archive

Recording a video feed from a camera that pans constantly requires much more storage. If the duration of your video archive is a concern, see Quality, p. 125.
