will move the camera automatically to the home position.
8. Pan, Tilt Zoom Speed Adjustments:
Individual pan, tilt and zoom speed knobs are located above the
joystick for adjusting those speeds on the camera selected. The speed adjustments are discreet, allowing for
setting speeds for each camera connected to the system.

The power button, when pressed and held will power down the Precision Camera Controller and the cameras
connected.
