Stop and start a rule-based patrolling session

If your system administrator has defined a rule that makes a PTZ camera patrol, you can stop the rule-based patrolling if an incident occurs. For example, to keep or move the camera in a specific direction.

You can stop a patrolling session if you have a higher PTZ priority than the user or rule currently controlling the camera.

1. In live mode, select the view item with the relevant PTZ camera.

2. On the camera toolbar, select PTZ to open the PTZ menu.

   When the PTZ icon is red, the PTZ camera is patrolling, or another user is manually controlling the camera.

3. Select Stop PTZ patrolling.

4. Now, you can manually pan, tilt, zoom, or keep the PTZ camera in the current direction.

5. To resume the rule-based patrolling, select the Stop PTZ patrolling command again.
