step1. Follow the steps 1 and 2 on page 97 to set the recording camera, frame or field recording, recording rate, and picture grade for normal recording.

•After executing the camera check, the recording setting is made only for the camera numbers with the video signal input when using auto or easy setting.

<Estimated Recording Time>

•The continuous recordable time depending on the recording rate and the recording picture grade of normal recording is displayed as <Estimated Recording Time> on the bottom of the preview screen for normal recording.

•When the main device is partitioned, <Estimated Recording Time> shows the estimated recordable time for normal recording.

step2. Set the frame or field recording, maximum recording rate per camera, and picture grade for alarm recording.

Easy: Sets the frame or field recording, maximum recording rate per camera, and picture grade for alarm recording to the same settings for all the camera numbers. When the recording rate is set to “– – –” for all the camera numbers, this disables alarm recording. Set the desired settings and then select “Execute.”

•The preview screen appears automatically when the easy setting is executed.

Manual: Sets the frame or field recording, maximum recording rate, and picture grade for alarm recording individually for each camera number. When setting “– – –” for the recording rate, recording is disabled for that camera number.

•Select “View” and display the preview screen to check the settings you have set.

•The recording rate to be set for normal and alarm recordings are the maximum number of frames. The number may decrease depending on the number of cameras used for recording.

•The field recording and frame recording can be mixed. However, when the total number of fields and frames becomes nearly 240, the recording may not follow the setting. The priority of the recording rate setting is, frame recording > field recording > large recording rate > small recording rate > small camera number > large camera number.

•Make sure to check the settings in the preview screen after making the recording settings.

•When the picture is recorded at the maximum recording rate, a picture from the camera without recording cannot be checked through communication.

•When setting the frame recording, the recording rate display in the preview screen turns green.

•The recording rate display in the preview screen turns red when the value exceeds 240 pps in total.

step3. Select motion detection recording.

Alarm: Starts alarm recording when the motion is detected.

Normal: Starts normal recording when the motion is detected. The recording is executed at the picture grade and the recording rate set for normal recording. The recording is not registered in the alarm list.

step4. Set the alarm mode.

Alarm CH: When alarm signal is input, performs alarm recording only by the cameras set for alarm recording. When there is an input of alarm signals from multiple sensors, alarm recording is performed by all the cameras to which alarm signals are input. Alarm Plus: When an alarm signal is input during normal recording, performs alarm recording by the camera and the recording rate set for alarm recording while all the other cameras perform recording at the normal recording rate. The available recording rate for alarm and normal recordings is up to 240 pps in total.

step5. Set the pre-alarm recording time in “Pre-Alarm Duration.”

0 sec: Does not execute the pre-alarm recording.

•The pre-alarm recording time display turns red when the actual pre-alarm recording time becomes shorter than the set time depending on the alarm recording settings.

•When the pre-alarm recording time setting exceeds the maximum pre-alarm recordable time, the pre- alarm recording time display turns red. Set the time within the maximum recordable time. You can adjust the recording rate or picture grade for adjusting the pre-alarm recording time. Even if the time is set exceeding the maximum recordable time, the actual pre-alarm recording is performed for the maximum recordable time.

•When the alarm area is set, the alarm recording and pre-alarm recording are made in the alarm area. To playback the recorded data, set the <Select Source Device> to “Alarm.”

•In the case that the alarm recording mode for pre- alarm recording is set to “Alarm CH,” recording with all the camera numbers set for alarm recording may not be possible when pre-alarm recording is carried out during normal recording.

•To perform the pre-alarm recording by all the camera numbers set for alarm recording:

i)To perform with normal recording:

Set all the desired cameras for normal recording. Pre-alarm recording is performed at the picture grade and the recording rate set for normal recording.

ii)To perform with normal and alarm recordings: Set the “Alarm Mode” to “Alarm Plus.”

(Normal recording) Set all the desired cameras for normal recording. Pre-alarm recording is performed at the picture grade and the recording rate set for normal recording.
