●Setting the [Frame Rate] screen

2To set the frame rate for local recording, select "Change the Recording Frame Rate during trigger recording", followed by selecting the frame rate accordingly.

Default frame rate is set at 10 fps. A frame rate of 10 fps for recording will be used when this box is not checked. (Set values: 30, 15, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)

Note

During local recording to CF cards, the frame rate is also dependent on the performance of the CF card in use. When the size of each recording file exceeds 8 MB (equivalent to a frame rate of 30 fps over a duration of about 8 seconds when the size of each image is 33 KB), frames may be dropped.

3For setting the recording time.

This can be set up to 30 seconds before and 60 seconds after the alarm input.

Cautions

● [Before trigger] and [After trigger] values cannot be set to "0" at the same time.

● Due to the memory capacity of VN-C205, recording time set for [Before trigger] and [After trigger] may differ from the actual maximum recording time.

(Example)

At a resolution of 640 x 480 (10 fps) when the size of each image is 40 KB, the actual maximum recording times are as follows:

Without CF card : 5 seconds before trigger / 10 seconds after trigger - 0 seconds before trigger / 15 seconds after trigger

With CF card : 20 seconds before trigger / 60 seconds after trigger

4For setting the priority.

Frame Rate : Priority is given to frame rate settings.

Recording Time : Frame rate is automatically adjusted such that recording can be performed according to the specified recording time.

●Setting the [Advance] screen

5 For setting the recording action when the memory capacity of the CF card is full. One of the following actions can be selected. (Internal memory capacity is 8 MB.)

• Stop recording until an availability is made in the CF card.

• Remove old files that have exceeded a specific number of days. (If the number of days is set to "0", files will be deleted starting with the oldest one.)

Caution

● When record setting that exceeds the recording capacity is performed with [Remove old files] set to "0 days", recorded files will not be retained. To retain the files, change the value for [Remove old files] or alter the record settings.

Notes

Recording time

While maximum recording time varies with the recording frame rate and image size, recording over a specified length of time may not be possible depending on the compression level and object.

Recording files

A trigger-recording file is created each time a trigger occurs. If successive triggers occur over a continuous period of time, these will be recorded into 1 file.

The maximum size of each recording file id 80 MB. Recording will stop upon exceeding 80 MB.

Caution
