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.

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.

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 

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) [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).

• [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 a short 

time 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.

• 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.
