Creating Camera Presets in Lenel Virtual Matrix

Creating Camera Presets in Lenel Virtual Matrix

FROM LENEL TECHNICAL SUPPORT:

Requirements

1)    LDVR environment

2)    Virtual Matrix Switch “Pelco D” protocol

3)    OnGuard Version 5.11.105 and later releases

4)    Camera Pelco Spectra Dome II or  III

Currently Lenel's GUI has no support for "set preset" command.  Originally, setting presets was done via matrix switcher's UI.  In the case of virtual matrix switcher, there is no UI.  The workaround is to temporarily replace the "go to preset" command with "set preset" command.  Thus typing the preset number and clicking the "go to preset" button will actually set the preset to the current position.

Configure Virtual Matrix and PTZ camera. Before proceeding to step 2. you have to be able to PTZ the camera through your mouse/keyboard via Alarm Monitoring.
