snapshot at specific PTZ location and specific time of day

Post by alexio »

Hi,

I've read the manual and website and have not found how to do it.

I have an Amcrest IP2M-841B camera and I have saved 3 specific PTZ locations. I set the camera to PTZ location 1 all the time. I want to take a snapshot, every day at 13:00 at PTZ location 2, and after taking the snapshot to revert to PTZ location 1. I tried doing this with the Alarm trigger, but I couldn't. Is this possible? Could a kind soul provide a some step-by-step?

If this can't be done using the camera's software, can it be done using 3rd party software? If yes, which one?

If this camera can't do it, can anyone recommend a camera that can do this?

Many thanks in advance!

Hello alexio ,

You can create a tour with your preset points and then activate this tour with motion detection. So from the live view interface you need to create tour with your presets and then enable PTZ tour under set up > Even > Video detect from the web interface of the camera from a PC.
