IVS setup advice on 270 degree view? PTZ

Setup: Cam link here
  • Mount: on a bracket about 24" off the right corner of the building, roughly [X] ft above grade
  • Coverage: ~270° of usable view
  • Key areas: front door at ~[X] ft, dumpster at ~[X] ft
  • Lighting: [IR at night / parking lot lights / etc.]

What I'm trying to do:
  1. Run a 270° tour once per hour, then return to a home preset covering the door and dumpster.
  2. When a human is detected, auto-zoom in tight on them.

Questions:
  1. Is this best done with a Tour vs. an Auto Scan, and does the Idle Motion / auto-home timer reliably pull it back to the preset after the tour?
  2. Does IVS keep working during the tour, or do I need SMD/AI Tracking instead since IVS rules are tied to a fixed preset?
  3. For the zoom-in behavior — is Auto Tracking the right tool, or should I use a tripwire/intrusion rule with a linked preset?

Appreciate any pointers. Thanks.
