Pause patrolling

Depending on your surveillance system, you can pause a patrolling.

If you have the necessary PTZ priority, you can pause a system patrolling or a manual patrolling started by another user. You can always pause your own manual patrolling. This can be useful when you need a longer timeout to control the camera.

Patrolling is paused for 10 minutes by default, but your system administrator may have changed this.

In the view, select the PTZ camera that you would like to pause patrolling on.
On the camera toolbar, click the PTZ icon to open the PTZ menu.
Click Pause patrolling.

While patrolling is paused, there is a check mark in front of the Pause patrolling menu item for all users. The PTZ icon turns green for you and red for all other users, so they can see that someone controls the camera.

If you move the camera to a PTZ preset or move it manually, the timeout of the pause patrolling resets. If you start a manual patrolling, you lose the pause patrolling session.
To stop pausing, select Pause patrolling again.
The system resumes its previous patrolling or the camera is made available for other users.

If a user with a lower PTZ priority than you has started a manual patrolling, for example Weekday, you can pause it and take control of the camera:

Click Pause patrolling.

While you have paused another user's manual patrolling, there is a check mark in front of the Pause patrolling menu item and the patrolling profile for all users. The PTZ icon turns green for you and red for the other users, so they can see that someone controls the camera.
To stop pausing, select Pause patrolling again.
The system resumes to the manual patrolling, in this example Weekday.
