PTZ PATTERNS
A pattern is a user-defined, viewable camera path with a definite beginning and end. Patterns are made up of a sequence of standard pan, tilt
and lens commands. Patterns are stored in the internal memory of the PTZ device, such as a Spectra® dome, that is connected to the DX8100.
The Spectra III supports one pattern and the Spectra III SE supports up to four unique PTZ patterns. Depending on the type and configuration of
the PTZ device, the DX8100 can address up to four unique PTZ patterns. Once defined, a pattern can be activated with a series of on-screen
commands. A pattern will run continuously until it is deactivated.
Only PTZ-enabled cameras that support pattern programming through D, P, Coaxitron, or supported third-party protocols can use this feature.
This section describes how to program, activate, and clear patterns, and access the programming features of remote cameras. This section
includes the following topics:
•Programming a Pattern
•Activating a Pattern
•Clearing a Pattern
•Accessing Programming Features of Remote Cameras
PROGRAMMING A PATTERN
