Detail Settings

Picture Recording and External Device I/O Settings Page

Use this page to specify the operating condition for the picture recording function. Settings on this page can be used to record still pictures in response to inputs from an external device (sensor, etc.) and based on a predetermined schedule. See Chapter 6, “Using the Picture Recording Function” (→ P.6-2) for detailed operating examples.

“Pre-event Recording”/”Post-event Recording”

Specify how pictures are to be recorded before and after an event is detected from an external device. There is “Pre- event Recording”, for recording pictures prior to events from an external device, and “Post-event Recording”, for recording pictures following events. Be sure to enter at least one of these.

If “Pre-event Recording” or “Post-event Recording” are used, specify the interval between picture recording in 1-sec. units or 0.1-sec. units, and enter the number of pictures to be recorded.

“Camera Position”

Select the angle to be used in Post-event Recording. Select “Not Specified” or from Preset 1 to 8 (→ P.3-15).

External Device Input

“Record pictures in response to external inputs”

Tick this option to record pictures when an input is detected from an external device.

“Record still pictures unconditionally for every external input event/ Record still pictures for validated external input events during the Start-Stop times specified below”

Select “Record still pictures unconditionally for every external input event” if pictures are to be recorded at any time when an input is received from an external device. If pictures are to be recorded only during specified periods, select “Record still pictures for validated external input events during the Start-Stop times specified below” and set the start time, day of the week, etc.

“Start/Stop”

Set the time when picture recording is to start and when it is to stop.

*“Start” and “Stop” cannot be set to the same time.

“Day”

Select the day of the week when pictures are to be recorded. Picture recording will occur on the selected day of the week for the period from “Start time” to “Stop time”.

“ON event (OPEN to CLOSE)”

Pictures are recorded when ON events are detected from an external device.

“OFF event (CLOSE to OPEN)”

Pictures are recorded when OFF events are detected from an external device.

● When recording pictures, if you turn off the VB-C10/VB-C10R’s power switch and then reboot it, all recorded still pictures will be deleted.

●Depending on the operating status of the VB-C10/VB-C10R, still pictures may not be recorded according to the specified intervals and the number of pictures to be recorded. Please check the actual operation after the settings have been made.

● See “Picture Recording triggered by External Devices” (→ P.3-18).
