Settings concerning normal recording and
alarm recording
This unit allows you to set the setting items for normal
recording and alarm recording individually. It means, more
detailed settings are possible, such as changing the recording
rate of the camera of which the alarm signal is in put while
leaving the normal recording settings as they are.
The recording and playback cannot be performed properly
when the clock of this unit does not run. Check that the
clock of this unit is running before operation.
The settings cannot be changed during normal recording
and alarm recording. Change the setting after stopping
recording. To pause the alarm input (up to 5 minutes), set
the “Alarm Input” in the <Recording> menu to “Off.”
When the camera number with no camera connected is
set in the <Set Recording Pattern A (Normal/Timer)> to
<Set Recording Pattern D (Timer)>, the warning display
appears when recording pictures ( see “Warnings and
CALL OUT output” on page 108).
To activate normal recording and alarm recording, set the
following items:
• Recording rate and picture grade for normal recording
and alarm recording
(<Normal Recording Menu> and <Alarm Recording
Menu>)
• The camera selection during alarm recording
(“Alarm Mode” in <Alarm Recording Menu>)
• Whether to execute pre-alarm recording
(“Pre-Alarm Duration” in <Alarm Recording Menu>)
• The recording camera and trigger for alarm recording
(<Alarm Camera Setting> and <Alarm Trigger In/Out>)
Pre-alarm recording
Pre-alarm recording is a function to start recording a few
seconds before the ALARM IN terminal on the rear panel is
grounded, motion is detected, or the alarm signal is input via
LAN or RS-232C communication.
Records data on HDD before alarm is input.

recording and during stand-by mode.

from the alarm setting.
