13. Now move your camera to where you want the home position to be, primary view for the camera, if already where you want it, just move it slightly. This will initiate the camera move to get rid of the OSD menu upon camera reboot.

Camera will now display REBOOTING and you can watch it reboot and go to the normal Configuring menu OSD and then move to your "PRESET 1" position and the OSD menu will be GONE.
Scenario 2:
Solution:
1. VSM version is 7.2.0
2. Camera models are 3520, 6020, 6030
3. We are creating camera specific templates for each type of camera

From Media Server

I would recommend to upgrade to 7.2.2 or open a TAC case for further assistance on this issue.
