Register Camera Server and Set Recording Schedule Set Sensor Event Recording Step 2: Enable recording and set an event priority 1. Check [Record on this sensor] to enable recording when a sensor is triggered. 2. In the [Priority] field, select the priority for the event to be generated for this motion from 5 options, ranging from [1. Highest] to [5. Lowest]. Priorities are color-coded as events in the Timeline in the Viewing Screen. Step 3: Specify a camera angle when the sensor is triggered In [Camera Angle], select a preset camera angle from the [Preset] drop-down menu. When the sensor is triggered, the camera will be moved to this position. If you select [Not specified], the camera will not be moved. The camera angle can also be changed by moving your mouse pointer in the [Preview] area to display controls and clicking to pan, tilt and zoom ( P. 4-22). After the camera has been controlled, the [Preset] will be set to [Custom]. Note z If you set the viewing angle to the preset position of VB-C300 in the digital zoom region, the actual angle may be misaligned from the set angle. z Camera Servers have functions to record video on memory of the camera by the sensor input or schedule. If the settings are enabled on the Camera Server, they take precedence. z The [Preset] location cannot be selected as VB-C500VD and VB-C500D do not support this function. Tip z Click the [Exposure Compensation] drop-down menu and select [On] to compensate for camera views with strong backlighting. The setting will be used when the sensor is triggered. This is useful, for example, if a camera angle would change from an indoor view to an outdoor view when the sensor is triggered. z If you set the [Preset] option in the [Sensor Event Settings] window, the pre-event recording position may be different from the specified position because the Camera Server moves when a sensor input occurs. Also, if you specify the post-event recording time to "0", and the sensor input occurs for a short period of time, recording may terminate before the Camera Server reaches the preset position. z If you are using a normal close type sensor, you need to set the presets with the Camera Server recording screen. See "Configure External Device Input" ( P. 4-21) for the details. Step 4: Set the Night Mode (VB-C500VD, VB-C500D, VB-C60, VB-C300, VB-C50i/ VB-C50iR, VB-C50FSi, and VB-C50Fi) Select the [Night Mode] from the drop-down menu. You can select from [Disabled], [Enabled], or [Not specified]. 4-55
