Blue Iris

Short version - if I've been using the PTZ on a camera, is there a way to get BlueIris to send the camera to a given preset after some period of inactivity?

I've been experimenting with zones and PTZ, and have things mostly set up. If there's activity in a particular zone, BI moves the PTZ to zoom in on that area. I have a custom motion sensor mask for that preset.

The automatic version explicitly moves to another preset after some time has elapsed. This will also tell BlueIris to go back to the default motion sensor mask.

The problem is when the user invokes that preset. BI is now using the custom motion sensor mask. The camera is set to return to a home position after 5 minutes, but that leaves the wrong motion sensor mask in place.

What I really want is what I have now, but additionally:
- after some period of PTZ inactivity, return to a specific preset (then I can disable that on the camera)
- Until then, disable the default mask (starting when ever I start using PTZ), since as I PTZ the mask doesn't match the view anymore. If I use a preset, it should switch to the preset mask if it exists.

One thing I have tried - turning on the 'Cycle' functionality, with the one position I want in the cycle. It appears the BlueIris ignores the cycle if it has only one entry. Works fine if I have two positions.

As a workaround, I could define another preset that just happens to be in the exact same position as the one I want (and cycle between those two), but that's pretty hacky.
