Making PTZ go to newest trigger from spotter

[International784]

Is there a way to make a ptz go to the newest alert from a given spotter cam? I don’t have one spotter camera that really takes priority over the other. Should I just got to the PTZ tab and select the “cancel alerts when this preset is active” for each preset?

Yep if you uncheck cancel alerts then anytime a spotter is triggered it will move the PTZ and override a previous trigger.

Okay, by default the “cancel alerts” is unchecked for each preset. If I want the ptz to go from preset to preset, I’d need to have the cancel alerts checked no? Each preset is controlled by a separate spotter so I’d need one to override the other? Thanks Witt!

If you check it and spotter 1 triggers it will keep tracking and ignore (cancel) spotter 2 while spotter 1 is active.

If you uncheck it and spotter 1 triggers and x seconds later spotter 2 triggers then it will cancel spotter 1 and move to spotter 2 preset.

Unless it changed from the version I am on lol.

That's how it works with mine (5.7.whatever).

You got it. I thought my ptz was staying stationary while other spotters triggered it. It works as you described.
