ACTIVATING PRESETS
A preset action forces a camera with PTZ capability (pan, tilt, and zoom) to reposition itself on a specific scene, such as a door. Preset actions are activated automatically or manually from the DVR5100. A preset action is activated automatically when an alarm occurs that triggers the preset action. For example, an alarm sounds on an exterior door to a building and the preset action is set to refocus a camera on that doorway. A manual activation of a preset occurs when an operator selects a preset command from the Actions menu. For example, an operator is viewing video from a fixed camera in a parking lot when he or she decides to refocus the camera on the doorway to get a better view of someone who is walking toward the door.

To create preset actions, access the menu of the camera for which you want to create a preset action. Refer to Accessing Camera Menus on page 33 for more information.
