How to automatically reposition camera to home preset

[fishinforfacts]

I have a camera that has 5 presets. Normally the camera is set to monitor preset 1 where I have zones set up. I have this camera at my winter home and monitor using Blue Iris from my summer home, I use the other presets to just look around my property and the zones I have set up are essentially for the camera and not the preset. I also use the Pan and Tilt feature as well. My concern is that if I get distracted and forget to put the camera back on preset 1, I either get triggers that I don't care about or get no triggers at all until the next time I check it which is usually at the end of each day. Is there a way to have the camera automatically reset back to preset 1 after a set amount of time with no activity like there is with Resume cycle on auto cycle patrol in the PTZ control. Thanks.

You do not state what type of PTZ cam you have. The Dahua cam has a setting in PTZ GUI that camera goes back to a particular preset after a time out. Have you looked in the cameras GUI?

I had before and have checked it again. The camera is a Hikvision DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3. It is possible that I am just looking in the wrong place.

When all else fails, read the manual.

Thanks. Unfortunately it is at my winter home. I will look for a copy online.

The key is to add the ’home’ preset to your camera’s event schedule and tweak a few settings.

Is it possible to return to a camera to preset 1 after a trigger move to preset 2?

I have two presets: Camera facing driveway Camera facing entryway/door I currently have BI set to detect motion, and when it does move to preset 2. I am currently manually moving it back to preset 1 after reviewing the footage. I have tried using the PTZ auto-cycle between preset 1 and 2, but...
