How do I set presets, patrols, and patterns using the PTZ menu?

This guide provides a structured approach to setting up presets, patrols, and patterns on your Hikvision PTZ camera to maximize its surveillance capabilities.

Configuring Presets

1. Access PTZ Controls:

   • Log into your PTZ camera via the Hikvision NVR through a web browser.

2. Set Presets:

   • Navigate to the PTZ control panel and position the camera at the desired view.
   • Save this position as a preset by entering a preset number and clicking 'Set'.

3. Naming Presets:

   • For easier management, give each preset a descriptive name in the camera settings.

Setting Up Patrols

1. Select Patrol Configuration:

   • Access the patrol settings in the PTZ control menu.

2. Add Presets to Patrol:

   • Choose a sequence of presets for the patrol route, setting the order and dwell time for each position.

3. Save the Patrol:

   • Save your configured patrol route, ensuring each camera position is accurately recorded.

Creating Patterns

1. Record a Pattern:

   • In the PTZ settings, start the pattern recording mode.
   • Manually guide the camera through the desired surveillance path, including stops and zooms.

2. Stop and Save:

   • Once the path is completed, stop recording and save the pattern for future use.

3. Testing:

   • Run the pattern to ensure the PTZ movement is smooth and corresponds to the surveillance needs.

With these settings configured, your Hikvision PTZ camera will efficiently cover desired areas through automatic presets and patrol patterns, enhancing overall security monitoring.
