LINKING PTZ PRESETS AND PATTERNS TO EXTERNAL EVENTS

The DX8100 can be configured in such a way that motion, alarms, ATM/POS transactions, and video loss events detected by one camera will result in the repositioning of another. Similarly, alarm inputs can be set to trigger camera-positioning presets. Only a single preset or pattern can be linked to a camera.

This section describes how to link PTZ presets and patterns to motion and alarm events, including the following topics:

•Linking PTZ Presets and Patterns to Motion Events on page 135

•Linking PTZ Presets and Patterns to Alarm Events on page 136

•Linking Presets and Patterns to ATM/POS Events on page 137

•Linking Presets and Patterns to Video Loss Events on page 138

Linking PTZ Presets and Patterns to Motion Events

To link two cameras so that motion detected on one results in the repositioning of another:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click the Setup button . The Setup dialog box opens to the Camera page.

2.Click the Linking button . The Linking page is displayed.

3.Click the Event-PTZ Link Settings tab.

4.In the Motion Detection Link Settings section, do the following:

a.Select a camera from the Camera Channel drop-down box. (This camera will be the motion source.)

b.In the Linked PTZ Setting section, select a camera to be linked from the Linked Camera Channel drop-down box. (This camera will change PTZ position in response to motion detected by the source camera.)

5.To select a PTZ preset or pattern for the linked camera, in the Linked PTZ Setting section, do one of the following:

• To force the linked camera to move to a PTZ preset in response to motion detected by the source camera:

(1)Click the Linked Camera Preset button to select this option.

(2)In the Preset drop-down box, select a PTZ preset (1-150).

•To force a PTZ pattern to be activated in response to motion detected by the source camera:

(1)Click the Linked Camera Pattern button to select this option.

(2)In the Pattern drop-down box, select a PTZ pattern (1-4) to be activated on the camera.

The selected camera must support PTZ functions, and at least one PTZ preset/pattern must be defined for this function to work. 6. Click Apply.
