PTZ configuration

When PTZ has been installed for the AXIS 243Q Blade, the menu item PTZ Configuration
will appear in the menu to the left, along with its sub menus.
Preset positions
Many PTZ devices provide Preset positions, which are pre-defined camera views than can
be used to quickly move the camera to a specific location.
From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) controls to steer the camera
to the required position. When satisfied with the camera's position, enter a descriptive
name. The camera position, iris and focus settings are then saved as a preset position.
The position can be assumed at any time, by selecting the preset's name from the Preset
positions drop-down list. Preset positions can be selected in Live View and by events.
One position can be set as the Home position, which is readily accessible by clicking in the
box beside Use current position as Home. The position's name will then have (H) added to
the end, e.g. Office Entrance (H).
