I am not sure that camera like the other like it have a Home Position? I mean you might be able to setup something in HA or BI or some other software to start up camera and position it at a Set Preset? Outside of that, Just setup a Preset to position 1 and make that your home each time your done looking at a different area.

Now I don't personally have the 1041 and only going off what I know of my own V3 camera of like kind, While I can turn off the lens and when it turns back on it will go to the last location or a fraction of some point to that area. My camera don't have a PTZ area where I can setup a Home Position like I can other higher dollar PTZ cameras from Amcrest and others that I own..

Yes I did create a preset position #1 then run the camera to a different position then select GOTO position #1 and it does go back to the position I set it for, But when I reboot the camera it does not go to the preset position of #1 it goes so some other setting.

Thanks!

It is odd, I have not heard of the 1041 having that issue. That is normally the issue that I have seen when someone with a older 841 added the new FW to it and the reboots make the system go Rogue.

So here is something to try. go to Preset 1. Then move the camera to right or left and then move it manually back to about the same area that your Preset 1 is at.. Then Reboot the Camera (Can be done over WebUI) and see if that is the area the camera comeback too.

I can't say this is your issue. I know that I have a older 841 that if I move camera to a different area off Preset 1 and then go back to preset 1 after that move when my camera does either Weekly Reboot or I manually reboot it the camera will end up in strange place. However I move the camera to Preset 1 then move camera different pan area then back almost close to preset1 the camera loads to that almost preset 1 location.

If it is a 1041 for sure with that issue as I posted above, I would for sure setup a ticket with Amcrest so it can get an update to fix the issue.

Sorry a correction, the camera is a IP2M-841B, it the older version of my other ones.

Just tries that idea that you put the camera close to what you want, then set a preset, from there i did bump the camera over to were I wanted it then rebooted the camera and it did indeed go back to the last position I had manually moved it to.

Thanks for your input on this issue!

Thanks for the Update on the Device. Glad to hear it wasn't a 1041.
