PTZ presets enable you to store a PTZ camera's position for later recall.
To setup a PTZ preset, navigate to the Camera Settings page and switch to the PTZ tab.
To create a preset:
Move the camera to the position you want saved
Enter a name for the preset in the Preset Name field
Press Save
To try out the preset you just created, press Go To.
To edit an existing preset, simply overwrite it by saving a new preset with the same name.
To use the presets you created from the Live View, simply press the drawing pin icon and then click on the preset you want to recall.
The camera can be configured to return to a home after a predetermined period.
In order to setup return to home:
Setup a preset position you want to use as the home position.
Configure when you want he camera to return to home. The options are Always, Never or When Armed.
Chose the preset position you created in step 1.
Chose the delay you want the camera to wait after receiving the last manual PTZ command, before it returns to home.
The PTZ presets are not synced with the presets positions on the camera itself. They are stored independently and the camera is simply asked to move to a coordinate.
If you set up a guard tour or auto tracking on the camera, the Giraffe platform will have no control over this feature. Be careful that the settings you set on the camera do not interfere with the settings in the Giraffe platform.
