Automatic pan to preset location at sunrise and sunset?

Post by Nortonics »

I would like to have my front door PTZ camera automatically pan to a certain location at sunset and pan to a different location at sunrise. I already have both positions preset at the camera level. Is this possible with BI5.8?

Outstanding - thanks Rick! Man, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I figured BI could do this, after all, what can't it do, right?! How many times I went into the config screens and looked for this is innumerable!

All set up now. I learned something new today! Thanks again!
