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 29
.
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
.
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.

the Axis product. Each OSDI zone is set up with coordinates and a descriptive name.

left and upper right zone areas. First navigate to where you would like the lowermost left point of the OSDI zone to be located.
