I did tinker with the web app, dahua's smartpss, blue iris, Amcrest's older surveillance app and the newest ASP.
It returns to P-3 no matter which software I am running on also which makes me think it is something in the cam.
Somewhere along the line I may have triggered something to cause it to do this but I can not find anything in ANY software that would tell it to return to a certain preset or home position.
It always returns to Position 3 - which is my favorite anyway
but not when I am expecting it to stay on P-1 while the dogs are sleeping.There is no consistent duration before it changes position either. It has done this at various times between 30 seconds and 5 minutes (when I have had the patience to watch it)
Oddly, it will also bounce back and forth between P-3 and P-4 which I have seen on recordings during the night.
I had previously set tours and tinkered with pans between these 2 positions as that is a full scan of that location.
I've unplugged the cam several times but have never done a factory reset since this has started.
Multi-screen tracking has been turned on and off and almost acted like it was tracking my dogs moving around that area but I have no idea how that really works and I think that was just a fluke anyway as it returns to P-3 when there is no motion.
If this is a feature I'd like to learn to take advantage of it - otherwise I need to get it to stay where I tell it to.
Hopefully a real person knows the answer as the user manual and help videos are seriously bad with instructions and explanations on issues or features like this.
Thanks to anyone that followed along and may have any other suggestions.
