Assign a camera's preset position as default

If required, you can assign one of a PTZ camera's preset positions as the camera's default preset position.

It can be useful to have a default preset position because it allows you to define rules that specify that the PTZ camera should go to the default preset position under particular circumstances, for example after you have operated the PTZ camera manually.

1. In the Site Navigation pane, select Devices and then select Cameras.
2. Select the relevant PTZ camera in the Overview pane.
3. On the Presets tab, under Preset positions, select the preset in your list of defined preset positions.
4. Select the Default preset check box below the list.

You can only define one preset position as the default preset position.

If you have selected Use default preset as PTZ home position in Options > General, the default preset position will be used instead of PTZ camera’s defined home position.
