    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 do not 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 or full 
    image 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”, 
    “passing”. You can view the image on the camera while 
    setting the position and size of the detection area and line, 
    detection conditions, etc. 
    Log Viewer
    This viewer shows the logs of operating conditions of the 
    camera. 
    Recorded Video Utility
    This is a utility for browsing and managing video recorded 
    on memory cards inserted in the camera. You can display 
    a list of recorded video, play it back, delete it and 
    download it.
