Setting a preset

The KTD-405 has a number of features that allow users to quickly set camera presets directly from the keypad.
Installers and supervisors can also manage this capability in a flexible way.
Setting presets from the keypad
PTZ cameras from GE Security have the ability to remember position settings and return to them on command.
These position records are called presets. Users can instruct the camera to go to a stored position, that is, find or
recall any preset that has been set up, by entering keystrokes on the keypad.
Note: Each GE PTZ has it's own limitations for Presets, but the 405 keypad supports 1-127 plus Calling Home which is preset 0 for
CyberDome 2. Also please see each PTZs user manual for more details.
If the system has been set to allow it, the user can also set the position of some presets directly from the
keypad. Installers or supervisors have a flexible tool built into the keypad to manage this capacity.
When the keypad comes from the factory, the default settings allow the user to set presets 58 through 61
directly from the keypad. In addition the user can set the autopan limits which are stored in presets 62 and 63.
Other GE PTZs can support additional presets 64-127, see their user manuals for more info. By default these
also can be set from the keypad. With this default setting, presets below 58 must be set from the camera setup
menus, which the user may or may not have access to.
The installer or supervisor can allow a user to set more or fewer presets from the keypad with a setting in the
Supervisor menu. This setting is called the Lowest User Programmed Preset value (Preset Limit for short). It is
set by factory default to 58. This is why, by default, the user cannot access presets below 58. If the supervisor
sets this value to a lower number, all the preset numbers higher than or equal to that number will be accessible
to be set directly from the keypad. Conversely, if it is set to a number higher than 63, the user cannot directly
set presets in a Legend camera with numbers lower than that value (see
statement).
To store a preset, do the following:
1. Position the camera.
2. Press store.
3. Enter the preset number using the number keys, or aux 1, 2, 3, or 4 for presets 58 through 61.
Note: Presets 62 and 63 cannot be set using the number keys; they can only be set by using the
4. Press store.
You must press the store key at the end as protection against inadvertently overwriting a previously stored
position. For example, if the user intended to press the find key, the extra step would be unexpected, and the
Shortcuts for an exception to this
and keys.
