Preset positions

you need to set up the presets in the camera's web UI.
from Bi's hep file: " You should first use the network camera's web interface directly to create the presets and/or set them to the desired PTZ "
then you can call/invoke the presets from BI, but you may need to edit the preset names to match what your camera expects.
that's what BI's preset config page is for.
all explained in the BI help file. read it again carefully...

Thanks. I read that but I can't seem to find the url to get a web interface on my cameras. I have used the iPhone app that came with the cameras (apcam) and set the preset positions but can't seem to transfer them to the blue iris app.
i have tried http://ip:5000 and 554 with /onvif and /onvif1 but nothing.

"I can't seem to find the url to get a web interface on my cameras".
Unless you changed the default when setting it up,
Every IP cam I've used has had the web interface on port 80 like so:
http://<cam-ip-address>:80
(the ':80' is even redundant, as it the default for http and
even the 'http://' isn't required, as your browser will add it)
"I have used the iPhone app that came with the cameras (apcam) and set the preset positions but can't seem to transfer them to the blue iris app"
I'f you've already configured them in the cam(s), then you may just need to make the names match up
in BI's per-camera preset editing page. Also, make sure you've got the ptz controls enabled for the cam,
and that the user you are logging into BI as has 'ptz' permissions.
