You can return the focus of the camera to its default

setting by selecting [Return to default focus when the

camera is operated].

Note

The camera returns to the first preset position after reaching the
last preset position.

Hint

Click [Start Test] to run through the preset tour once to confirm

your settings.

About the Warning Message Displayed During the

Preset Tour

Depending on the preset tour settings, a warning

message about the camera’s pan/tilt mechanism may be

displayed when you click [OK] to close the [Preset Tour

Settings] dialog box. If this happens, consider changing

the settings according to the following guidelines.

The pan/tilt mechanisms have a lifetime of approximately

100,000 round trips over the full range of motion

(according to our estimates).

„ Specify the Option for Recording Before and/or

After an Event

You can record a number of seconds before and/or after

an event, such as sensor input or motion detection, using

the [Recording Options] setting.

➀ [sec. before event]

Number of seconds to record before an event (max. 30

seconds).

➁ [sec. after event]

Number of seconds to record after an event (max. 999

seconds).

Note

• [Recording Options] cannot be specified when setting

continuous recording.

• Even if [sec. before event] and [sec. after event] are both set to

0, recording will continue when events are continuously

generated.

• The higher the value for [sec. before event] the greater the

memory usage for the Storage Server. If the Storage Server

has insufficient memory, the server will run out of virtual
memory, which consumes hard disk space, significantly

reducing processing performance.

• If you specify a preset camera angle for sensor recording, the

camera angle will change to the preset angle when sensor

recording starts. Therefore, the camera angle of the recording
before the sensor recording event will be different from the one

after the event. If [Recording Options] is set to record zero

seconds after an event and the sensor input is very short,
recording may stop before the camera reaches the preset

camera angle.

Click [OK] to close the dialog box.

Important

• Using preset tour with MPEG-4 or H.264 format will consume

a large amount of disk space.

• The preset tour settings can effect the durability of the

camera’s pan/tilt mechanism.
