PTZ on event (properties)

PTZ-related properties are only available when you are dealing with a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. When a PTZ camera supports preset positions, you can make the PTZ camera automatically go to a particular preset position when a particular event occurs. When associating events with preset positions on a PTZ camera, you can select between all events defined on your system. You are not limited to selecting events defined on a particular hardware device.

Component	Requirement
Event	Select the relevant event.
PTZ Preset Position	Select the relevant preset position. For this purpose, you can only use an event once per PTZ camera. However, use different events for making the PTZ camera go to the same preset position. Example: Event 1 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A Event 2 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position B Event 3 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A

Requirement

Event

Select the relevant event.

PTZ Preset Position

Select the relevant preset position. For this purpose, you can only use an event once per PTZ camera. However, use different events for making the PTZ camera go to the same preset position.

Example:

Event 1 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A
Event 2 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position B
Event 3 makes the PTZ camera go to preset position A

If later you want to end the association between a particular event and a particular preset position, clear the field containing the event. After you have made the PTZ setting changes, restart services.

Cameras that do not support multiple simultaneous video streams cannot connect to the surveillance server and the Management Application at the same time. Milestone recommends that you stop the Recording Server service when you configure such devices for motion detection and PTZ.
