Cam not restoring saved position - Attempts to turnthe Orbit cam too far.
By: LanceO Rank: Newbie Topics: 5 From: n/a	Added: 02/23/2009 - 09:31 PM I recently uploaded to the new 3.0 version since the software said I had to. At times upon reboot the camera will not return to stored postion and in fact attempt to turn the orbit cam too far making a load clicking noise. My remote system reboots every day at 9 am and noticed this morning looking a different way, I also noticed it in action when I first load the new software. This did not happen with the older version.

AbelCam uses (by default) the drivers homing function, so the two should behave the same way. I have an older Orbit which behaves just as you describe - making a weird clicking sound on one end. You may edit the cams ptz.xml file and change <AlternativeHoming>false</AlternativeHoming> to <AlternativeHoming>true</AlternativeHoming> this will change AbelCams 'homing' and not use the drivers homing function but use an internal function. Let me know if that helps
