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
•
When setting up Guard Tour. See .
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. If required, select Use current position as Home.
5. Click Add. The camera's position, iris and focus settings are saved as a preset 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.
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 when inactive 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, select Include overlay text and enter the modifier #P in the field.

Limits
Define the pan, tilt, zoom and focus limits for the Axis product. Movements to the left and right, up and down, can be restricted to
narrow the area under surveillance.
Move speed sets the speed of the camera's pan and tilt movements. The default setting is maximum speed.
When using a joystick (or emulating one with the mouse) the Enable proportional speed setting can be used to reduce the maximum
pan/tilt movement speed, i.e. the speed the camera view moves at when the joystick is pushed all the way out in any direction. This is
useful then the view is zoomed in on an object.
