Hi  @xmanhattan 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

 

PTZ (Pan-Zoom) controls the relevant buttons and the motors on the camera to perform horizontal (Pan), vertical (Tilt), and lens zoom.
This is used for two aspects:firstly, to allow users to manually control and adjust the field of view; and secondly, this is also used for for simple target tracking as the C540 has tracking capabilities.
Based on PTZ, there are also developed advanced features such as 3D area control, target tracking, cruise control, and watchdog mode. 

 

To confirm if PTZ is working, simply observe whether the image changes correctly based on your preset settings.

  @Hank21 Hello Hank21, Thanks for answering.

 

The  Vigi C540 PTZ function works as I can move the camera up, down, left, and right, but I do not understand how the presets work.

 

Here are some images:

               

 

I have "played" with the various icons under PTZ speed, and clicked on Preset #1 which is shown in image #2, as well as Patrol Scan but there is no documentation.

 

 

Is there any camera manual where I can find more information about how this works???

Hi  @xmanhattan 

After setting a preset point, there is a dwell time threshold. Once the gimbal stops for the specified time, it can execute either a preset point mode or a patrol mode.

Preset point mode allows you to select a specific preset point, and the gimbal will return to that point.

Patrol mode uses multiple preset points to form a trajectory, and the gimbal will follow this trajectory for patrol control.

Thank you for your answers.  I will combine them with the information that I just found here:
