How To Set Up A Tour Directly From An Amcrest NVR/DVR

The Tour feature allows you to set multiple locations for the PTZ to cycle through using preset positions. It relies on pre-defined PTZ "presets" to be set within the NVR. These presets are specific positions that you configure your PTZ camera to move to view areas such as the entrance parking lot, etc.
