Recording the picture manually

Basic manual recording

This function is to setup the recording parameters of recording setting pattern A to start recording manually. Ensure all the cameras are connected and time and date has been set correctly. Before you start recording, check the repeat recording settings in the <Data Management Setting for Main Memory> (System Menu Memory) first, and then make the recording settings.

Make the manual recording settings on the <Set Recording Pattern A (Normal/Timer)>.

<Set Recording Pattern A (Normal/Timer)> can be used for manual or timer recording. <Set Recording Pattern B (Timer)> to <Set Recording Pattern D (Timer)> are used for timer recording only.

Settings here are for manual recording only. For timer recording, settings must be made on the <Timer> menu.

Setting the recording rate and picture grade for normal recording

step1. Execute camera check.

The unit automatically detects the cameras with video signal at their input when you select “Execute.” The detected cameras are used in the Auto and Easy settings calculation in step 2.

After executing the camera check, the recording settings

are made only for the camera numbers with the video signal input when using auto or easy setting.

step2. Set the normal recording menu.

Auto: Automatically sets the picture grade and the recording rate by setting the recording cycle and the recording hour per day. Set the desired settings and then select “Execute.”

The preview screen appears automatically when the auto setting is executed.

Easy: Sets the frame or field recording, recording rate, and picture grade for normal recording to the same settings for all the cameras. When the recording rate is set to “– – –” for all the camera numbers, normal recording does not perform. Set the desired settings and then select “Execute.”

The preview screen appears automatically when the easy setting is executed.

Manual: Sets per camera, the frame or field recording, recording rate, and picture grade for normal recording. When you set “– – –” for the recording rate, the recording does not perform for that camera number.

Select “View” to display the preview screen and check your settings.

When you set frame recording, the recording rate display in the preview screen turns green.

The recording rate display turns red when the value exceeds 100 pps in total.

<Estimated Recording Time>

The estimated continuous recordable time is displayed on the bottom of the preview screen which is dependent on the picture grade and the recording rate settings for normal recording. (The time does not reflect alarm recording settings.)
