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:
• Pan and tilt positions
• Zoom position
• Focus position
Each view area has its own preset positions.
Preset positions can be accessed in several ways:
• By selecting the preset from the Source drop-down list in the Live View Page.
• When setting up action rules. See page 38.
• When setting up guard tours. See page 32.
• When setting up the Gatekeeper. See page 31
To 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.
3. Enter a descriptive name in the Current position field.
4. Click Add to save the 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

Gatekeeper

The Gatekeeper monitors an area such as an entrance gate. When motion is detected in the monitored area, the Gatekeeper will steer
the camera to a selected preset position. Using a zoomed-in preset position can make it possible to, for example, read a license plate
or identify a person. When motion is no longer detected, the camera returns to its Home position after a defined time.
To enable the Gatekeeper, go to PTZ > Gatekeeper and follow the online instructions.
