recalling the camera presets subsequently.
On: When the camera position is adjusted manually, or the camera detects that the motors have
moved, it will first re-initialize (i.e. go to default position) then return to the preset/position it had
before the camera was adjusted.
Example: xConfiguration Cameras Camera 1 MotorMoveDetection: Off
