Preset Positions

A preset position is a predefined view that can be used to quickly steer the camera to a specific location. 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 33.
• When setting up Guard Tour. See page 28.
Each view area has its own preset positions.
To add a preset position:
1. Go to PTZ > Preset Positions.
2. Use the pan, tilt and zoom controls to steer the camera view to the desired position.
3. Enter a descriptive name in the Current position field.
4. Click Add. The camera's position is saved as a preset position.
The entire view area is treated as the Home position which is readily accessible by clicking the Home button on the Live View
page and in the Preset Positions setup window.
The product can be configured to return to the Home position when the PTZ functionality has been inactive for a specified length of
time. Enter the length of time in the Return to home after field and click Save. Set the time to zero to prevent the product from
automatically returning to the Home 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
