ACTIVATING SCANS
To scan is to view an area by panning a camera horizontally to the right or left. There are three types of scans available:
•Scan Random: A random scan occurs when the camera pans in an irregular, unsystematic pattern.
•Scan Frame: A frame scan occurs when the camera is repositioned for a three-second interval scan followed by a three-second pause.
•Scan Auto: An auto scan occurs by panning a camera continuously to the left or right.
Your cameras might provide predefined scans. Refer to the documentation for your cameras to determine which predefined s cans are available,
and then enter their numbers in the instructions below when you need to run them.
