Selecting [Return to default focus when the camera is operated] enables you to restore the focus settings to the default ("Auto") during the preset tour. 7 Specify the order of the presets. The tour starts with the first preset and proceeds down the list. Change the order by selecting a preset, and then clicking [Move Up] or [Move Down]. To remove a preset, select the preset and click [Remove]. To edit a preset in the list, select the preset and click [Edit]. 8 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. 5 Setting a Recording Schedule Note • The camera returns to the first preset position after reaching the last preset position. • 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. A warning will appear when the pan/tilt mechanisms reach their estimated lifetime of 100,000 round trips over the full range of motion.  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 Intelligent Function, using the [Recording Options] setting. (1) (2) (1) [sec. before event] Number of seconds to record before an event (max. 30 seconds). (2) [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] is set to 0, recording will continue when events are continuously generated. • The higher the value for [sec. before event], the greater the memory usage is for the Storage Server. If the Storage Server has insufficient memory and the duration to record before an event is set high, 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 a short time after an event and the sensor input is very short, recording may stop before the camera reaches the preset camera angle. 85
