<para>Preset tour is a feature for PTZ-capable devices, enabling the PTZ unit to move on specified presets sequentially at some interval.</para>
<para>This section describes operations that manage the preset tours.

As per PTZ Wsdl with onvif.xsd, IsRecorded is mandatory parameter in ModifyPresetTour client request which creates backward compatibility issue.
