I have an outdoor PTZ camera (Dahua SD50225UN-HNI) with 3 different presets. The focus is currently set to manual, as auto-focus has a difficult time deciding what to focus on. Manual focus works okay for 2 presets that are at approximately the same distance, but it is completely out of focus for the 3rd preset, which is much more zoomed in.

Is there a way to manually focus each preset, so that each one has a different focus setting? I'm aware of the ROI setting, but that is not of use for my situation.

Thanks for any advice!

As far as i know, you could manually move to a point that will be saved as a preset, then manually set the focus. After that, you save the preset.

Or you move to a saved preset, manually set the focus, save the preset again.

So before you setup a preset, you do the following routine:
1. Manually move to a point.
2. Manually set the focus.
3. Save the preset.

Do this via the web interface inside the camera.
