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 35.

•When setting up Guard Tour. See page 29.

To add a preset position:

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 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 .
