Configuring Presets and Preset Tours
Caution Continuous preset tour operation for extended periods of time (more than
eight hours) is not recommended. Continuous operation results in
increased zoom lens wear and maintenance expense. Similarly, avoid
setting auto focus to continuous.
Note Presets are also called PreShots on some controllers.
Note Remember you access the OSD by pressing 90 Preset.
• If an operator runs a preset tour continuously, the dome goes from the last preset to
the first preset. The amount of time the ACUIX™ takes to go to each preset depends
on the programmed velocity and the distance to the next preset’s pan and tilt
coordinates. The velocity is programmable from 1° to 480° per second.
• The preset tour repeats continuously until an operator manually controls the dome
(pan, tilt, zoom, focus, or iris) or the dome receives a preset, preset tour, mimic tour,
or find home command.
Note If you are using a TDN camera, the focus changes when the IR cut filter is
removed. Therefore, when a preset is programmed during the day it may be
out of focus at night when the IR cut filter is removed. The only way around
this is to have day presets and night presets.
