Alarm search/date and time search

•Alarm recording or sensor recording should continue for at least 5 seconds.

•When recording is performed in the long-time timelapse mode, date/time search will not function correctly if the recording duration is too short.

To ensure that the date/time search operates correctly, the recording duration must be equivalent to at least 5 seconds at Standard (2H) or EP (6H) : U model, (3H) : E model speed.

(Example) With a 960-hour normal timelapse recording, a recording time of 40 minutes or more is necessary.
