Copying the recorded data (continued)

Copy Data to Copy 2 Drive/Set Copy 2 Drive

Copy 2 is a backup or archive feature. This item is used to copy the data to Copy 2 device by specifying only the start point. The point is specified by the date and time or the book- mark. The copy continues until the end point of the recording data reaches or the media to be copied becomes full unless the copy is stopped manually (when “FIFO Overwrite” is set to “Off”). This function is useful for making backup of the re- cording data.

Before executing the copy, make sure that the Copy 2 device is connected and set in the <Add/Remove HDD Device> and <Add/Remove DVD/CD Drive> correctly. (System Menu Memory)

step1. Set the camera number to be copied.

•The button function changes between “All Off” and “All On” each time you select this button. You can switch on and off for all the cameras easily by using this button.

•The picture is not copied when there is no recorded picture of the set camera number or time.

step2. Select “Other settings” and then set the detailed settings.

From Main: Sets the area which contains the data to be copied. The available setting items are “Normal,” “Alarm,” and “LPA.”

To Copy 2: Sets the group to where the data is copied. The available setting items are “SerialBus,” “DVD/CD,” and “Internal.”

Copy Data: Sets the data area to be copied. The available setting items are “Alarm” and “All.” Overwrite: Selects whether or not to overwrite the existed data.

Auto Eject: Selects whether to eject media (CD/ DVD) automatically when the copy is over.

FIFO Overwrite: Selects whether to repeat copying from the start point of the media by overwriting the existed data, or to stop copying when the capacity of the media becomes full during copying. This setting is available only when the copy destination is HDD.

“Alarm” appears for “From Main” when “Alarm Recording Area” is set to other than “0 %.” (System Menu Memory Data Management Setting for Main Memory)

“LPA” appears for “From Main” when “Long Pre-Alarm Area” is set to other than “0 %.” (System Menu Memory

Data Management Setting for Main Memory)

When copying the data to DVD while “Overwrite” is set to “On,” the unit clears the existed data of the disc before overwriting with new data. Note that clearing the data takes about 30 to 40 minutes. You cannot cancel opera- tion during clearing the data of the DVD.

When copying the data while “Copy Data” is set to “Alarm,” the unit performs copy operation, however, the data is not copied if there is no alarm recording data within the speci- fied range of copy. In case of CD/DVD disc, the remaining capacity becomes low because only the management information is recorded.

Do not use the disc which has been used on the personal computer, failed to be copied, or stopped during copying due to the power failure because they may cause mal- function of the unit.

step3. Select <Copy Data to Copy 2 Drive> and select “Start” or “Continue” and then select “Set.” Input the start time or select the bookmark of copy.

Start: Sets the start point of copy.

Continue: Starts copying from the end point of the previous copy.

•To set the start point using the bookmark, select “Bookmark” and then select the desired bookmark number.

•To copy from the oldest recording time, select “Copy Start Time.”

step4. Select “Execute.”

•The copy starts.

•To stop copy manually, select “Cancel” in the screen of <Copy Data to Copy 2 Drive>. The data which has been copied before cancelling is copied.

The warning is displayed when the copied range exceeds the available capacity of the device to be copied when “FIFO Overwrite” is set to “Off” and the copy destination is HDD. In this case, set the copy setting again with nar- rower copy range or use a copy device with larger capac- ity.

When the copy is performed during recording, the picture of the recording start and end points may not be record- ed.

When the recording data of the main device which is be- ing copied is about to be overwritten or has been over- written, copy is stopped. Be careful for the copy which requires long time such as overwriting copy of DVD.

The progress bar of copy is not displayed for copy 2.

The picture data is processed in 2 MB unit. Therefore the

data is copied in 2 MB unit from the start point of the des- ignated range when copying.
