Presets are memorized positions of a PTZ camera. With this feature we can memorize positions, and at any time send the camera's focus to the desired position quickly.
Each camera model supports a certain number of presets. The system role is to maintain an internal list of positions created by the user, referencing the camera's internal list of presets, that is, position 1, created by the user, is associated with internal position 1 of the camera, for example. When the user adds a preset, the two positions are linked.
The presets will be available for use in the Surveillance Client. Consult the Surveillance Client manual to learn how to call the configured presets. The preset limit will depend on the camera used.
