PTZ position return to set positon after set period of time

[Daniel Ripley]

Hi

Im going to be trying to set up PTZ camera to trigger presets based on certain zones, I may need help on that later but for now I need to work out how to get the PTZ camera to return to preset 1 after a set time, this is how I want it to operate overal.

1: 3 zones are set up which are set up on the basis of cross zones, B-C,C-D
2: When say zone B is triggered I wish the PTZ to go to preset 2 which covers that area.
3: If no further trigger is picked up within lets say 30 seconds, PTZ returns back to preset position 1

I have plans on making clones of the PTZ camera, I assume this is the only way, but I may make another thread just on this if my trials fail.

Thanks, Dan

I use the camera side settings (going to camera ip address) and going into the "Idle motion" setting. I can select a time of no motion (example 3 minutes) and a preset to return to if there is no motion

I don't think it's possible to go to a preset based on a zone. You can go to ONE preset if triggered, but not PS1 if A + PS2 if B + PS3 if C, et cetera.
