Configuring View Restrictions
Set a restrict view area and click [Apply] to restrict the capture range of the Camera Viewer.
Note
To delete view restriction settings, select [Disable], and click [Apply].
Operate the camera angle in the video display area to ge t the positioning value, and specify the restrict view 
area.
[Upper Limit]/[Lower Limit ]/[Left Limit]/[Right Limit]
Operate the camera angle to the upper limit, lower limit, left  limit, and right limit to set in the video display area.
Click [Get value] in each po sition to reflect the values to the pan/tilt preview frame.
Click [Preview] in [Upper Limit]/[Lower Limit]/[Left Limi t]/[Right Limit] to move the preview frame to the upper 
limit, lower limit, left limit, and right  limit of the current pan/tilt preview frame, respective ly, and display it in the 
video display area.
[Telephoto]/[Wide-angle]
Operate the camera angle to the wide-angle/tel ephoto limit to set in the video display area.
Click [Get value] in each position to reflect the values  to the wide-angle preview frame/telephoto preview frame.
Click [Preview] in [Telephoto]/[Wide-angle] to move the  preview frame to the telephoto/wide-angle limit of the 
current wide-angle preview frame/telephoto previe w frame and display it in the video display area.
You can also set the telephoto/wide-angle limit range by directly moving the op eration knob on the zoom slider up 
and down. This also moves the preview frame to the telephoto/wide-angle limit of the current wide-angle preview 
frame/telephoto preview frame and disp lays it in the video display area.
If you dragged the telephoto knob to th e upper limit and the wide-angle knob to the lower limit, the view restriction 
is disabled for each edge (t here is no restriction).
Important
 If you have changed how the camera is installed,  reconfigure the view restriction settings.
 Check view restrictions again if you cha nge the [Basic] > [Video] > [All Videos] > [Video Size Set] settings on the Setting Pa ge.
 When [Camera] > [Camera] > [Camera Control] > [Digital Zoom]  or [Image Stabilizer] are changed in the setting page, check the view 
restriction settings again.

Four types of frames are displayed for panorama images.
Drag these frames on the panorama screen to set the restrict view area.
(1) Pan/Tilt Preview Frame (Red Frame) Displays the vertical and horizontal range the camera can move. You can directly change the restrict view 
area by dragging the pan/tilt preview frame.
If you dragged the pan/tilt preview  frame to the outer frame of the pano rama area, the view restriction is 
disabled for each edge (there is no restriction).
(2) Wide-Angle Preview Frame (Green Frame) Indicates the maximum wide-angle view possible within  the pan/tilt preview frame. You can directly change 
the position of the frame by dragging the telephoto pr eview frame, but the aspect ratio cannot be changed.
(3) Telephoto Preview Frame (Yellow Frame) Indicates the maximum telephoto view possible within the wide-angle preview frame. You can directly 
change the position of the frame by dragging the tele photo preview frame, but the aspect ratio cannot be 
changed.
(4) Preview Frame (Blue Frame) Indicates the current position disp layed in the video display area.
Note
 If the preview frame (blue frame) is posi tioned outside the pan/tilt preview frame (red frame) you have changed, the camera 
position is moved inside the restricted view.
 If you change the position of the wide-angle/telephoto preview fr ame, the wide-angle/telephoto end of the preview frame is also 
changed.
The settings are saved to the camera.
Note
 The panorama screen may be slightly different from the actual imag e. After you have configured view restrictions, be sure to use 
the Camera Viewer to confirm they have been reflected correctly.  View restrictions are not applied to the video display area of the 
restrict view setting.
 The controllable range and range that can be captured are as follows.

 The pan and tilt ranges vary depending on the zoom ratio (view angle).
 If the view restriction will be exceeded as a result of zooming toward wide-angle, the camera will first pan and tilt to a position 
where the maximum wide-angle zoom will be  within the viewing restriction area. Wide-angle zoom control will then be enabled 
within the view restriction area.
 Narrowing the view restriction  may also reduce the zoom range.

Setting view restrictions 
automatically restricts 
the camera operating 
angle. When using wide-angle, the camera 
operating angle would allow capture outside 
the view restrictions if the angle remained the 
same. Therefore, it is narrowed automatically.

By registering settings as presets, such as camera angles, camera settings (e.g. exposure) and Day/Night Mode switching, 
the presets can be easily called up  by Viewers to apply the settings.
Using Presets
In addition to immediate execution of registered camera  angles and the camera settings such as exposure when 
operating the viewer, you can use presets as follows.
 Execute the presets duri ng switches between Day Mode and Night Mode (P. 188).
 Automatically cycle through multiple presets at a set  time and in a predetermined sequence. (Preset Tour) (P. 129)
 When using the Intelligent Function,  lock the monitoring position at a preset camera angle (P. 169). 
Registering a Preset
The camera angle and camera settings can be registered as a preset.
The number of presets you can register are as follows.
 Maximum 65 presets (including the home position). 
 Maximum 21 presets (including the home position). 
[Camera] > [Preset]
Registering Presets
Important
 It is strongly recommended you register as presets,  the positions Intelligent Function will use for the camera.
 If you use a preset registered with the digital zoom, the camera position at registration may not be able to be reproduced wit h a high 
degree of accuracy. Therefore, it is recommended that you use a preset registered in the optical zoom area for the preset tour  and 
intelligent function. 
 Reconfigure the presets if you change the [Camera] > [Camera] >  [Installation Conditions] > [Image Flip] (P. 107) settings on the 
Setting Page.
 Reconfigure the presets if you change [Video]  > [All Videos] > [Video Size Set] (P. 101) settings in the Setting Page.
 If you change the settings in [Camera] > [Camera Control] > [Image  Stabilizer] in the Setting Page (P. 105), the angle of view when 
using the camera will not match the angle of view when you config ured presets. If you change [Image Stabilizer] settings, recheck the 
preset settings.
The following settings can be configured here.

You can have the camera automatically tour multiple registered presets to allow monitoring.
Note
 Preset tour is not performed while the camera control privileges are obtained in the Camera Viewer or the video is displayed in the 
Setting Page.
 Preset tour is not performed when contro l privileges are obtained by RM-Lite.
Screen Composition
The screen composition differs according to the camera model,  because the number of tour routes that can be registered, 
number of presets that can be toured with  a single route, and tour conditions differ.
[Camera] > [Preset Tour]
Setting the Preset Tour Route
Important
 If you set frequent pan/tilt operations in a preset tour, the li fe expectancy of the pan/tilt drive part may become shorter. T he life 
expectancy may become even shorter in en vironments outside ordinary temperatures (approx. 23°C (73°F) and approx. 60% 
humidity).
You can reduce the frequency of pan/tilt operations by setting a l onger stop time at each tour point, or by specifying an active time for 
the preset tour to reduce operation time.
 Intelligent Function cannot be us ed while using preset tour.
The following settings can be configured here.
