Setting Sensor Event Recording
●
Step 2: Enable recording and set an event priority
Check Record on this sensor
to enable recording when a
sensor is triggered.
In the Priority field, select the
priority for the event to be
generated for this motion from a
menu of five 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 changed 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. 91).
After the camera has been controlled,
the Preset will be set to Custom.
Click the Backlight 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.
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 (If the
sensor input is momentary, the Camera Server may not even move).
If you are using a normal close type sensor, you need to set the
presets with the Camera Server recording screen. Refer to
“Configure External Device Input” (
➝ P. 89) for the details.
Tip
If you set a preset position using the digital zoom of the VB-C300,
the viewing angle may be misaligned.
