Tip: The other two indicators serve the following purposes: The red indicator lights up when
motion has been detected, and the green indicator is used for indicating that video is received from
a camera.
Specifying Events for which Event Indication Should Be
Used
To specify which events should trigger an event indication for the camera, do the following for each
required event:
1. In the Available Events list, select the required event.
Tip: You are not limited to events associated with a particular device: You are able to
select between all available events (input events, timer events, event buttons) from all
cameras on the XProtect Basis+ surveillance system.
2. Click the >> button to copy the selected event to the Active Events list. When an event
listed in the Active Events list occurs, the event indicator will light up.
3. Repeat for each required event.
To remove an event from the Active Events list, select the event in question, and click the <<
button.
PTZ Preset Positions for [Device Name] [Camera
Name] Window
Available only when dealing with a PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) camera supporting PTZ preset positions,
the PTZ Preset Positions for [Device Name] [Camera Name] window lets you view and — for many,
but not all, PTZ cameras — define preset positions for the PTZ camera.
To access the PTZ Preset Positions for [Device Name] [Camera Name] window, click the PTZ Preset
Positions... button in the Camera Settings for [Device Name] [Camera Name] window (see page
39). The button is only available if the camera supports PTZ preset positions. Note that if the
Milestone Recording Server service (see page 61) is running, the button will not be available; see
the description of the Camera Settings for [Device Name [Camera Name] window for information
about how to make the button available.
Why Use Preset Positions?
Defined preset positions can be used for making the PTZ camera automatically go to particular
preset positions when particular events occur. Defined preset positions will also become selectable
in the Remote Client/Smart Client, allowing users of these applications to move the PTZ camera to
the preset positions.
Absolute and Relative Positioning PTZ Cameras
Your configuration options depend on whether the PTZ camera in question is of the absolute
positioning or relative positioning kind:
