How To Setup PTZ Idle Motion

Title of Page

Description

PTZ idle motion is a function of a PTZ camera where you can set an interval of idle time before the camera defaults to one of the following: Preset, Scan, Tour, or Pattern. The intended PTZ idle motion function is dependent on having Preset, Scan, Tour, or Pattern already programmed. This feature is either accessible through the PTZ's On Screen Display (OSD), or through the web menu of the camera itself.
