You can divide the image of the entire area under surveil
lance (limited by the angle of detection and pivoting range
of the camera) into different sections and save the sec
tions individually as presets. A total of four presets are
possible.
Each preset can then be assigned to a defined memory
location

• to display the respective area under surveillance.
1. Navigate to any section of the image.
2. Touch the Image section button.
3. Touch and hold one of the four memory locations (1 - 4)
to assign the respective image preset. You receive a
reply: Camera preset point x has been save.
4. Repeat the steps and assign a different preset image
section to each memory location.
Quick Access
1. Touch one of the memory locations. The camera moves
to the image section which you have defined in the
memory location selected in the preset.
The respective preset remains assigned to memory
locations 1 - 4 until you save a new preset for one of
the memory locations.
Image Section Under Surveillance
If you have assigned one or more image sections to the
memory locations, you can define one image section as
standard in Alarm Setting to ensure that the image sec
tion remains permanently monitored.
