7-4 Alarm Recording
Alarm recording functions during timelapse recording. When an alarm signal is input to the rear panel's ALARM IN terminal, an index code is recorded on the tape and the VCR automatically switches to the 6H (EP),18H or 30H mode for realtime recording of the alarm situation. Normal timelapse recording is restored after the preset alarm recording duration has passed.
* Alarm recording will not start from the Pause mode.
