[SOLVED] Patrol through preset positions possible?

[roadster]

Hi there.
I am new to zoneminder, it´s an overwhelming set of programmes.
Since I have several IP Cameras (all foscam clones) that allow pan and tilt I would like to know wether zoneminder is possible to patrol through the different presets of an ip-camera?
E.g. I have several presets for cam1 in the garden: fence, gate, tree and so on. Can zoneminder patrol those points and keep an eye on intruders in my garden?

First check that the camera doesn't have support for this internally. If it does then you need to find/create a zoneminder ptz control script that supports that feature.

If that doesn't work, then you can still do the following.
Once you have the presets set up and working from Zoneminder, then you would call zmcontrol.pl, using the --preset paramter, from the command line.

zmcontrol.pl is defined here:

You could then write a script that cycles through all your presets.

Thanks!
Right now I followed the instructions for foscam clones.
But the cameras won´t goto presets, pan or tilt... I am stuck...
I am using opensuse 12.1, zoneminder 1.26.4 and 4 wansview jw0004 cameras.
Everything works fine exept controlling the cameras.

OK this is solved now.
The four cameras now pan and tilt as they should by a script using zmu and zmcontrol.pl in a batch file.
The batch runs an endless loop.
When I am not at home I sometimes take a look through cameras, it´s kinda fun with the cams panning but one could get a little sick staring at 4 moving camera pictures all the time....
