STOPPING A PATTERN
NOTE: The instructions in this manual refer to the DVR5100 Control Pad. Refer to Navigating Through Menus with the KBD5000 Keyboard on
page 4 and Navigating Through Menus with a PC Keyboard and Mouse on page 6 for alternate keystrokes if you are using either of these devices.
To stop a pattern:
1. Select the video pane that is displaying video from a camera running a PTZ pattern.
2. If the border of the selected video pane is green, Press Enter/Shift . The border color changes to blue.
3. Move the joystick any direction. The pattern stops.
ACTIVATING PRESETS
A preset action forces a camera with PTZ capability (pan, tilt, and zoom) to reposition itself on a specific scene, such as a door. Preset actions are
activated automatically or manually from the DVR5100. A preset action is activated automatically when an alarm occurs that triggers the preset
action. For example, an alarm sounds on an exterior door to a building and the preset action is set to refocus a camera on that doorway. A manual
activation of a preset occurs when an operator selects a preset command from the Actions menu. For example, an operator is viewing video from
a fixed camera in a parking lot when he or she decides to refocus the camera on the doorway to get a better view of someone who is walking
toward the door.
A user with administrator-level permissions must program these actions in advance. Preset actions must be programmed using the Remote Client
application before they can be activated manually from the DVR5100. In addition to moving the camera to a predetermined scene, a descriptive
title can appear on the video pane. The type of camera positioning system determines the number of preset actions that are available.
Your cameras might provide predefined presets. Refer to the documentation for your cameras to determine which predefined presets are avail-
able, and then enter their numbers in the instructions below when you need to run them. For example, Pelco cameras use the Preset 95 to display
camera menus on a monitor.
To create preset actions, access the menu of the camera for which you want to create a preset action. Refer to Accessing Camera Menus on
page 33 for more information.
