PTZ motion detecting while panning

Maybe a stupid question, about to get a ptz camera, wondering if when it is on auto pan if Blue iris can distinguish movement aside from the panning of the camera?

Yes, there are two options for suspending motion detection on PTZ movement.

In the cameras settings 'PTZ/Control' tab...

- Check the 'Suspend motion detection' box. This is the default.
- 'Max travel time/motion delay'. Set this to the max time it takes to move the camera to the PTZ preset. For example, if it takes 5 seconds to move from preset 1 to preset 2, set this to a few seconds greater, like 7. Or, just leave it at the default of 10.
