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.
