Preset Positions

To enable quick and accurate camera positioning to known camera hotspots, the Administrator can

define within the server up to 20 preset positions. Preset positions are saved as a named entities that

can be re-established at any time by the Administrator(s), or Users - if these privileges have been set

by the Administrator(s) during the Application Layout.
