Description

These instructions will show you how to setup a PTZ Preset using Milestone Management Client. You can then activate the presets from the XProtect Smart Client.

Prerequisites

• Dahua IP PTZ
• Milestone XProtect (For this example we used Milestone XProtect Corporate 2017 R3)
• Dahua IP PTZ ONVIF credentials
• Ability to login to XProtect Management Client
• Dahua IP PTZ added to Milestone via ONVIF
• Established Pre-Sets from the PTZ interface. Either from SmartPSS, WebUI, or SystemUI from a recorder.

Important!

If you are unable to control your PTZ from Milestone XProtect Smart Client, please ensure that PTZ controls are enabled under, "Recording Server" when using Milestone Management Client. image Relaunch XProtect Smart Client after making these changes. Otherwise you will still be unable to control the PTZ.
