to display images and control the camera. Click

The Administrator Viewer has a panorama display
function. However, the VB101 does not support
shooting or transmission of Panorama images. Con-
sequently, if the Panorama display button is clicked,

resizing the rectangular frames on the Panorama
window, you can pan, tilt and zoom the camera.

Administrator Privileges
The Administrator Viewer has the following special privileges not available to
Note
ordinary viewers:
The Administrator Viewer has unlimited video connection time. After you have
finished viewing images, you should quit the Administrator Viewer.
The administrator can connect to the system outside service hours.
When the Administrator Viewer acquires camera control privileges, it forcibly retains
continued camera control even when a request for camera control authorization is
received from an ordinary user. After you have finished viewing images, you must
quit the Administrator Viewer. Alternatively, you can click the control privileges
button in the Administrator Viewer again to relinquish control privileges.
When view restriction settings has been set on the camera server, the
Administrator Viewer can control the camera beyond the specified field of view.
However, note that ordinary viewers can also view the areas outside the
specified field of view.
