Step 5 – On the camera’s Live View page, click “Patrol” to start the camera on the assigned patrol. Click “Stop” to stop the samera’s patrol. Note that pressing the “Patrol” button will always start the patrol from the first assigned position, it does NOT resume patrolling from the last stopped position.
