Add a preset position (type 1)
To add a preset position for the camera:
1. Click Add New. The Add Preset window appears:
1. The Add Preset window displays a live preview image from the camera. Use the navigation
buttons and/or sliders to move the camera to the required position.
2. Specify a name for the preset position in the Name field.
3. Optionally, type a description of the preset position in the Description field.
4. Click Add if you want to specify more presets.
5. Click OK. The Add Preset window closes, and adds the position to the Presets tab's list of
available preset positions for the camera.
Use preset positions from the camera (type 2)
As an alternative to specifying preset positions in the system, you can specify preset positions for
some PTZ cameras on the camera itself. You can typically do this by accessing a product-specific
configuration web page.
1. Import the presets into the system by selecting Use presets from device.
2. Any presets you have previously defined for the camera are deleted and affect any defined
rules and patrolling schedules as well as remove the presets available for the XProtect Smart
Client users.
3. If you later want to edit such device-defined presets, edit on the camera and then re-import.
