Preset Tours

A preset tour allows a camera to move through a programmed sequence of PTZ presets. The DX4500/DX4600 tour advances sequentially through presets 1–16. There is approximately a four-second pause between the end of the current preset and the start of the next preset. If the presets are programmed sequentially (1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth), the time period between presets is brief. If one or more of the presets are not programmed sequentially, the time period between the end of the current preset and the start of the next can be longer, because the system still accounts for the four-second interval for the non programmed preset memory location. For example, if presets 1 and 2 are programmed and presets 3–16 are not programmed, the system waits approximately 54 seconds before starting preset 1.

A preset tour will operate continuously until another PTZ control action is performed. At least one PTZ preset must be set in order to create a preset tour.

To activate a preset tour:

1. Click the PRESET button without entering a preset number. This activates a preset tour for all PTZ-enabled cameras.
