Preset support
The Sensormatic-units Ultra I and Ultra II does not support presets. Ultra III supports only 7 device-presets while the Sensormatic-units Ultra V(with firmware 3.06 or later) and Ultra VII allows up to 96 device-presets to be stored in the units.
The extended preset-support is turned on by default on Ultra V- and Ultra VII-units however different firmwares may contain different features. Due to this, the user can manually turn the extended preset-support on and off. To do this, check/uncheck the "Extended preset support"-checkbox available under PTZ-Configuration->Advanced->Device.  
Autofocus / Autoiris
Autofocus and autoiris are set simultanously, by sending the same command(s) to the units. It is not possible to set autofocus or autoiris individually.

Parameter Description Range
Move speed The current maximum pan and tilt speed. 1-100
Pan move time per degree Panning 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be recalibrated. Calibriation is done by requesting a 360 deg pan (i.e. "rpan=360") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 360 degrees. If pan speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(pan speed). 1-10000
Tilt move time per degree Tilting 1 degree takes this amount of time (unit = 1s/10000). Changing "Move speed" requires this parameter to be recalibrated. Calibriation is done by requesting a 90 deg tilt (i.e."rtilt=90") at current "Move speed" and then adjusting this parameter until the request pans exactly 90 degrees. If tilt speed(deg/sec) is known, this is calculated by 10000/(tilt speed). 1-13000
Trunc tilt speed As it must be possible for the tilt function to be correctly calibrated for all available device types, the "speed curve" that describes the full range of tilt speeds will, for some devices, have no effect at the higher end of the scale. This means that the maximum speed (i.e. "Move speed"=100%) needs to be "remapped" to the highest value on the speed curve that still results in increased movement. This value might be e.g. 75% for one particular device, but 90% for another device.

To set this parameter, first set it to 100%. Then progressively raise the maximum tilt speed until there is no further detectable increase in the speed. This value (e.g. 80%) should then be used for the Trunc tilt speed.

Changing this parameter also requires a recalibration of the "Tilt move time per degree".
1-100
Zoom time The calibration constant for zoom (time in ms for maximum zoom change). Higher values give greater zoom changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum zoom request (i.e. "rzoom=9999") at one extreme (i.g. zoom wide) takes you to the other. 1-30000
Focus time The calibration constant for focus (time in ms for maximum focus change). Higher values give greater focus changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum focus request (i.e. "rfocus=9999") at one extreme (e.g. focus near) takes you to the other. 1-30000
Iris time The calibration constant for iris (time in ms for maximum iris change). Higher values give greater iris changes. Calibrate by confirming that a maximum iris request (i.e "riris=9999") at one extreme (e.g. full iris close) takes you to the other. 1-30000
Current field angle The calibration constant for click-in-picture (center). Higher values give greater movements. Calibrate at minimum zoom (i.e. zoom wide) and at the most commonly used speed, by making sure that clicking on an object brings the object to the center of the image. 1-1800
Pan bar range Range (in degrees) to use with "panbar" requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will pan half this value in the corresponding direction. 1-720
Tilt bar range Range (in degrees) to use with "tiltbar" requests. Clicking at the very end of a bar will tilt half this value in the corresponding direction. 1-720
Send gap time Minimum time gap in ms between sending two commands. 1-500
Goto preset delay Time (in seconds) it takes for the image to stabilize it self, after the camera has performed the longest "goto preset action". Used for disabling/enabling image analysis (e.g. motion detection). 0-100
Extended preset support If set to true, extended preset support will be assumed. true, false
Simplex If set to true, only simplex serial communication will be used. true, false
