Patrol

Hell everybody
I am translating a camera manual. I don't know the exact meaning of the word "Patrol".

Setting a Preset Patrol
Set the PTZ camera to patrol by presets (go from one preset to the next in specified order). You need to set presets first and then select some as keypoints. Up to four patrol routes (Preset Patrol 1, 2, 3 and 4) are allowed for each PTZ camera, and each patrol route can have up to eight presets (keypoints). After setting presets, follow the steps to set a preset patrol. The following takes preset patrol 1 as an example.

this is not the usual way to set "patrols" - normally you would have one monitor showing in a preset order the feed from several cameras one after the other for few seconds, in the same order as when doing a foot patrol.

move from one preset position to another

The answer is there in the same sentence. The camera is "patrolling", or changing from one position to another as a real security guard would - except it's obviously fixed in one spot and just pointing in different directions.

'Patrol
An expedition to keep watch over an area, especially by guards or police walking or driving around at regular intervals.
"We were ordered to investigate on a night patrol."'
