PTZ tab (roles)

You set up rights for pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras on the PTZ tab. You can specify the features users/groups can use in the clients. You can select individual PTZ cameras or device groups containing PTZ cameras.

Specify the following rights for PTZ:

Name

Description

Manual PTZ

Determines if the selected role can use PTZ functions and pause a patrolling on the selected camera.

Specify a time profile, select Always, or leave the default value that follows the default time profile defined on the Info tab for that role.

Activate PTZ presets or patrolling profiles

Determines if the selected role can move the selected camera to preset positions, start and stop patrolling profiles, and pause a patrolling.

Specify a time profile, select Always, or leave the default value that follows the default time profile defined on the Info tab for that role.

To allow this role to use other PTZ functions on the camera, enable the Manual PTZ right.

PTZ Priority

Determines the priority of PTZ cameras. When several users on a surveillance system want to control the same PTZ camera at the same time, conflicts may occur.

You can avoid such a situation by specifying a priority for use of the selected PTZ camera(s) by users/groups with the selected role. Specify a priority from 1 to 32,000, where 1 is the lowest priority. The default priority is 3,000. The role with the highest priority number is the one who can control the PTZ camera(s).

Manage PTZ presets or patrolling profiles

Determines the right to add, edit and delete PTZ presets and patrolling profiles on the selected camera in both the Management Client and XProtect Smart Client.

To allow this role to use other PTZ functions on the camera, enable the Manual PTZ right.

Lock/unlock PTZ presets

Determines if the role can lock and unlock preset positions for the selected camera.

Reserve PTZ sessions

Determines the right to set the selected camera in reserved PTZ session mode.

In a reserved PTZ session other users or patrolling sessions with higher PTZ priority are not able to take over the control.

To allow this role to use other PTZ functions on the camera, enable the Manual PTZ right.

Release PTZ sessions

Determines if the selected role can release other users' PTZ sessions from the Management Client.

You can always release your own PTZ sessions - without this permission.
