PTZ preset positions

PTZ-related properties are only available when you are dealing with a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera.

You can use PTZ preset positions for making the PTZ camera automatically go to a particular position
when particular events occur, and when setting up PTZ patrolling profiles. Preset positions can also be
used in clients to allow users that have been given rights to move the PTZ camera between preset
positions. Names of preset positions must contain only the characters A-Z, a-z and the digits 0-9. If
you import preset positions from cameras (see the following), verify that their names do not contain
other characters. If they do, change the preset position names before you import them.
