Presets not working
HI
I have 2 makes of cameras running on my system, and none of them will store any presets for the camera positions.
All other functions work perfectly, including the "home" preset.
I have tried setting the presets via each camera individually, and although the presets work through the cameras' own software, nothing works through SS.
Pan/tilt/zoom all work very well.....
Any ideas?

Are you using the latest version of SecuritySpy?
It also doesn’t move when using the SecuritySpy app on iOS. (Also out of interest is there a way of setting presets on the app? If not would be nice.. perhaps just press and hold on the selector for the preset you want?)
Unfortunately this is the only PTZ camera I have at present so I have no way of testing with another model.
Its a VStarcam C38S. I can control PTZ with SSpy.
I just cannot set any presets via SSpy.
The web interface does offer 16 presets which can be set and called, however not from SSpy.
Other PTZ seem to work fine (Tenvis3s).
It IS the latest SSpy (4.2.6) but it has been a pain for awhile.
Its a shame because this camera does have awesome quality images. Only downside is I have had to block its propensity to phone home to China.
Only really bothering now as I had a camera fail and looking to replace it.
Anyway, I've got PTZ positions saved and have Indigo set up to move the camera at certain times via a plug-in that sends commands to SecuritySpy. So far it's working well, thanks Ben!
General comments: I’m years into Indigo and will be doing some integration with that software. Currently, I’m running on the latest mac-mini. 5 amcrest, 3-insteon (foscams actually) HD, and a couple old airLinks....so far.
AppleTV comments; missing unclipped images all at once? Multiplex works great. I like how you can easilly get to presets.
iOS comments: a little scarce on details...would like to have IP info available per camera when queried. I do not like how many clicks it takes to get to presets but could be missing the shortcut. Button in titlebar to log onto account does not look like a button. Looks like a title. When I’m away, this is the app I would use most.
Apple Watch integration: non-existant? Not even text alarms....or maybe I missed the app. Need to look more. Use Apple Watch often without iphone....LTE.
Mac Mini? May be asking too much. It’s not the slower mini...it’s the $700usd model. Most recent. Its the home server. Indigo, email spamseive, growl, printopia, and now security spy....running 24/7. May need to upgrade.
These are minor issues...I love the software so far. Used EvoCam for years. Still have 24-days left on the 30-day trial. Cheers. hope I get the presets working!
