Admin Tools
This is the top page of Admin Tools. All tools can be 
launched from this page. 
Privacy Mask Setting Tool
A tool that lets you hide areas you dont want to be seen 
by setting privacy masks. Up to eight areas can be 
masked, allowing thorough protection of privacy. 
Panorama Creation Tool
A panorama image creation tool that shows the entire 
area that can be captured by this camera. Once a 
panorama image is captured and registered, it is shown in 
the panorama display panel of the viewer. As the 
panorama image is also shown when view restrictions and 
presets are set, you can see at a glance which part of the 
entire area the set area is occupying.
View Restriction Setting Tool
The View Restriction Tool restricts the viewable capture 
range in the VB Viewer. You can set the desired range 
with the mouse by referring to the preview in panorama 
mode. 
Preset Setting Tool
A tool that lets you set presets and the home position 
visually. You can make the desired settings with the 
mouse by referring to the preview in panorama mode. You 
can also set [Preset Tour] whereby the camera tours and 
monitors multiple presets. 
Intelligent Function Setting Tool
This tool is used to set intelligent functions that perform 
uploads, notify the viewer, record a log, etc., if a change 
has occurred in the captured image due to movement of a 
subject. By setting the conditions, you can let the camera 
detect events such as “moving object”, “abandoned 
object”, “removed object”, “camera tampering”. You can 
view the image on the camera while setting the position 
and size of the detection area, detection conditions, etc.
