Control camera on a schedule?

in SecuritySpy

Sorry if there's an obvious way to do this that I haven't found.... I have a camera that sets itself back to neutral position every night around midnight (there's nothing in its settings that would cause this.) Is there some way to use Security Spy to have it automatically go back to the desired angle? Thx.

    Never mind, I don't know why I can only get into this camera on one machine, but I tore the firmware settings apart again and did find where it was set to auto-reboot. Turned it off and fine now.

    Sorry about the late reply here. Yes, this happens when cameras reboot, so I hope your settings change has fixed the problem. Otherwise, SecuritySpy's PTZ can be controlled by AppleScript, so it would be possible to, for example, schedule a daily script to tell SecuritySpy to return the camera to a specific preset at a particular time every day.
