Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread but i have a similar problem as well. i have a ptz camera and it does support presets but doesn't have an option to patrol between them. I have a hikvision NVR and i can set the presets using the nvr(in addition to the camera's web app) but when i try to set a petrol path in ivms, it just gives me an error.
So i want to know if there is a way to add the patrol/cruise function to the camera. I believe it should be fairly simple for the nvr to do it since it can add the presets and call them. But when it comes to patrol it just doesn't work which makes me think if the nvr just manipulate the settings already there on the camera and doesn't actually store the commands.
Please help.
