How to make IVS 'break' the Idle Motion?

I have "Idle motion" within three presets (using "Tour group"), it starts after 1 minute of no action. IPC 'walks' between the presets' points, stays at each for 15 seconds.

Also I made the IVS rules for each preset. My issue here when IVS rule goes off, the camera completely ignores it. I mean the IVS has no priority or influence over the Idle motion whatsoever! From the logical perspective: when something happens within a scene, I want to stay at that scene to record it. So I want:
1. Idle motion to stop when IVS rule has been triggered;
2. If IVS triggers multiple times, each time the countdown to continue Idle motions has to reset;
3. If no IVS is triggered for 1 minute (or whatever time amount set to wait before the Idle motion starts) - continue Idle motion.

How to achieve such behavior?

I don't think there currently is
Idle motion command as well as a slave/spotter camera command overrule anything the PTZ is doing regardless.


We also have another similar problem of the PTZ losing acquisition and retreating to its preset too quickly.
The ideal would be to allow the PTZ to have a "dwell" setting or time that can be user set to stay at a position before leaving due to inaction (target goes behind a wall then re-emerges say 10 seconds later)

The problem is that a solution gets mighty complicated mighty fast.

How much time should pass before it gives up and returns
How is the camera to determine its the same target object?
Without an IVS rule for this random position it is in when it lost the target, how will it re-acquire the target?
