Axis 26926r2 User Manual

A preset position is a pre-defined camera view that can 

quickly and easily be viewed.

From Preset Position Setup, use the Pan, Tilt and Zoom 

(PTZ) controls to steer the camera to the required position. 

When satisfied with the camera's position, enter a 

descriptive name. This camera position is then saved as a 

preset position. 

The AXIS 212 PTZ will take the exact position when the 

preset's name is selected from the Preset position’s 

drop-down list. Preset positions can be selected in Live 

View, from events and in Sequence mode.

One position can be set as the Home position, which is 

readily accessible by clicking on the Home button in both 

the Preset Position Setup window and the Live View 

window. The position's name will have (H) added, e.g. Office Entrance (H).

A Guard Tour displays the video streams from different preset positions from cameras in the system, 

one-by-one, in a pre-determined order or randomly, and for configurable time periods. Once the preset position 

has been set, and added to the guard tour, the following settings can be made:

• View Time in seconds or minutes 
• View Order (or Random)

This allows you to add a shortcut command button to the control panel on the Live View page. This requires you 

to provide the URL (path) to command accessed via the HTTP API. See the online help for more information.
