Icon for the Move to PTZ preset additional module

Move to PTZ preset is a professional feature that can help you get a better view at events happening in different parts of a rotating camera image. While the camera is moving according to a guard tour it can zoom in on different areas or look for different objects there, and let Xeoma do other video analytics in each area. One camera – truly unlimited reactions with a wide range of opportunities for integration with external systems and tools.

Works on a variety of operating systems from Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Linux (ARM architecture) and Android families. Even on a micro computer like a Raspberry!

If you have an overview camera that is supposed to keep an eye on a vast area, supports PTZ controls, presets and tours and allows to set up those through ONVIF, there is no better way to embrace the territory while doing different video analytics in each small part of the image than to use the Move to PTZ Preset module.

For example, in city surveillance the camera can be set to “tour” some areas of interest. The camera can rotate and zoom in for a better view of a particular part of the camera’s vision range, and various video analytics and reactions can be set up to be used for each area:

In farming (animal, fish or crops), an overview ONVIF PTZ camera can rotate between enclosures to take a closer look at each of them, monitoring one enclosure for birds of prey, another for authorized people or vehicles, and another for wild animals, etc. Time of “stay” in each position is customizable.

The “Move to PTZ Preset” is not the only PTZ function in Xeoma. Here are other PTZ functions in Xeoma:

	• (interface feature) Manual control of camera’s PTZ functions (available in Lite, Standard and Pro editions). Click on arrows in Xeoma’s PTZ control to rotate the camera to the left, right, up or down, zoom the image in or out. See more
	• (interface feature) Manual launch of PTZ presets for an ONVIF camera (available in Pro edition). Setup of guard tours without customized chain of modules for each preset. See details here
	• (module) PTZ Tracking (available in Standard or Pro editions). The module enables automatic following of moving objects in camera’s view. See more
	• (module) PTZ Senstar tracking module (available in Pro edition). The module is used for integration with smart fences Flexzone by Senstar (automatic rotation of camera to a sector of a fence where an event is detected). See more
	• (module) Sports Tracking (Additional module). The module is designed for automatic detection of a sports ball or players in camera’s field of view, and automatic tracking – rotation of the camera to always follow the object. See more
	• (built-in support for devices) PTZ joysticks. When a supported joystick model used for PTZ control of a camera is connected, push arrows in Xeoma’s PTZ control to rotate the camera with that manipulator. See more
