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 (up to 10000 picures).
"Recording Priority"
When there is a conflict between the timing of recording specified in a schedule and "Recording between ON event and OFF event", this setting specifies which recording takes priority. Tick "Recording triggered by external device" or "Recording triggered by schedule". The factory default setting gives priority to "Recording triggered by external device" .

"Auto Deletion of Recorded Pictures" Recorded pictures can automatically be deleted on the specified time after the specified number of days has passed.
"No. of days recorded pictures held" Specifies how many days the recorded picture data will be kept in a flash memory card. The recorded data which exceeded the days specified in "No. of days recorded pictures held" is erased daily at the time specified in "Recoreded picture delete time".

c ● Still pictures are recorded on a flash memory card (sold separately). Even if | |
Note | the settings on this page are specified, the Picture Recording function does |
| not perform if there is no memory card in the VB101 slot. |
●The data size that can be recorded for a still picture is less than 32 KB. If this amount is exceeded, the picture will not be recorded. The number of pictures that can be recorded depends on flash memory card capacity, however the maximum number of pictures that can be recorded is 10000.
e ● The data size for a still picture varies depending on the settings for video capture | |
Tip | size and video quality (→ P.43), and the subject. As a guide, approximately |
| |
| KB is the standard when the video capture size is set to 320x240 and the video |
| quality is set to 30 (In some cases this may be exceeded). To check the amount of |
| data for a still picture, select "View" - "Video information" from the menu after you |
| start up the Helper Viewer, then check the "Size" value. |
