At the spot I then"save" or "submit"((Whether you get "save", "submit", or some other labeled button will depend on your camera's firmware.)) that as a numbered preset. On the north side of my home I have four spots to cover (1) the shed, (2) the bus stop, (3) the mail box, and (4) the north door of my home. | I log into my camera's settings via my web browser(((i.e. http://192.168.1.51 is my first camera, .52 is second and so on).
