Zone crossing and alerts question

[mickiete]

Hi all,

I have a fixed camera with 3 zones, A is in the middle, B is on the left, and C is on the right.
I have set up "object detection" with A>B, A>C to direct a ptz to a point on each side, depending on which way the car travels.

My question is when I set up alerts to move the ptz would this be the way I do it:
on alert
AB/ONVIF PTZ: Preset 5
AB/ONVIF 5000msec
AC/ONVIF PTZ: Preset 4
AC/ONVIF 5000msec

on reset
AB/ONVIF PTZ: Preset 1
AC/ONVIF PTZ: Preset 1

or do I need to insert ">" between AB and AC

or am I over thinking completely wrong ?

Well I have, and I have it working.
What was throwing me was that if I trigger a command in the alert window it works.
But if I trigger it from the main screen, nothing happens (didn't come across that been mentioned in the manual, or is it a bug).
And as it is a Sunday it's very quiet, but eventually a couple of cars turned up and it works.
