Using Spotter Cameras to direct a PTZ where to look in an NVR or Blue Iris and setting a spotter cam as a priority in Blue Iris

I am using BI

Thank you both, I will look into what you mentioned
 
You know the 1-1.5 seconds was time to activation, But then you have another sec to turn and get to position, and another .5-1 to get its IVS ears up and running on the preset. AND a .5-1 to get the signal from the spotter to the NVR and out to the PTZ.

So I guess Im saying from initial trigger by the spotter to full "ready to track" could easily be 3+ seconds
 
I double dipped that last part :rolleyes: But stil 3 seconds is reasonable
 
I increased the ptz speed a notch and now it looks like it takes 3.8secs from spotter onvif trigger until ptz is ivs triggered, so I am happy with that, so you nailed it bigredfish!

I made the ptz preset be alittle ahead, as wittaj mentioned and I think that made a difference as well

Mostly dialed now

Another question:

When the ptz is already recording/tracking/triggered
How do I have the ptz ignore the spotter cam's new 'do command' request/alert and not have the ptz move away?

You can go into the PTZ tab in the Camera setttings and go to the preset that you want to have priority and check the "cancel alerts when the camera is focused on specific PTZ presets" box and then if it is tracking on that preset then another spotter cam will not override it.

^^^^
I'll be honest and say thats one feature BI has an NVR beat on. Can't do it that I can see on an NVR. Each call to the PTZ becomes priority

"Skip alerts when preset is active"

I only use two presets: home and Right

So check that on the preset: 'Right'

Because if I check that on preset 'home' it will skip any calls to 'right' while it is sitting at 'home'
