Preset Positions

A preset position is a saved view that can be used to quickly steer the camera to a specific position. A preset position consists of
the following values:

• Zoom position
• Focus position (manual or automatic)
Access the Preset Positions
Preset positions can be accessed in several ways:
• By selecting the preset from the Preset positions drop-down list in the Live View Page.
• When setting up action rules. See page 38.
• When setting up guard tours. See page 30.
• When setting up the Gatekeeper. See page 30.
Add a Preset Position
1. Go to PTZ > Preset Positions.
2. Click in the image or use the controls to steer the camera view to the desired position, see Preset Positions.
3. To add a focus window, select Focus window. Place the mouse pointer on the part of the image that you want to focus on,
click and drag to create a rectangle around it and release the mouse button.
The rectangle will turn green when the focus window has been set. The camera will automatically adjust the image
focus to this area.
For more information about focus windows, see page 30.
Note
The rectangle will disappear after a while, but the focus window will still be active.

5. If required, select Use current position as Home.
6. Click Add to save the preset position.
To include the preset position name in the overlay text, go to Video & Audio, select Include overlay text and enter the modifier #P in
the field. For more information about modifiers, see File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online help
Set the Home Position
The Home position is readily accessible by clicking the Home button on the Live View page and in the Preset Positions setup window.
To set a customized home position, select Use current position as Home when adding a preset position. The user-defined home
position will have (H) added, for example, Entrance (H). The default Home position, called "Home", will still be available.
