  • Iris up, down and Reset

  • Focus controls

  • Recall of the first 50 EdgeVis PTZ Presets

The following EdgeVis PTZ features are not currently supported by Milestone XProtect:

Import PTZ Presets

To import the presets from the EdgeVis Encoder

  1. Open the Milestone XProtect Management Server and open the Recording Server. Expand the EdgeVis encoder and select the camera

  2. Navigate to the Presets Tab

  3. Choose the Get option; this will retrieve the first 50 EdgeVis PTZ Preset Names

  4. This is a one-way import; it is not possible to set PTZ presets from the Milestone XProtect client.

    Note: If the import does not work, ensure that the EdgeVis PTZ channel is not in use by another user.
