Specifies the time of post-event recording.

 

2min / 3min / 5min / 10min / 15min

• When [Manual] is selected, recording is performed only

 

/ Manual / Continue

while the alarm signal is being input. At that time, minimum

 

 

recording time is eight seconds.

 

 

• Selecting [Continue] causes recording to continue until the

 

 

"Alarm [ALM]" button is clicked.

Audio rec.

Off*1*2*3 / On

Specifies whether audio should be recorded with images.

(Audio recording)

 

• Audio and images are recorded at the same time. Audio only

 

 

recording without image recording is not supported.

 

 

• Audio recording can be selected only for a camera model

 

 

that supports audio recording.

SD memory rec.

Off*1*2*3 / 0.1ips / 0.5ips / 1ips

Specifies whether images should be saved to an SD memory

(SD memory recording)

 

card if the signal is lost during recording.

 

 

• If the camera is a model that supports SD memory recording

 

 

and the recording format is [M-JPEG], you can specify a

 

 

recording rate. For information about SD memory recording,

 

 

refer to About SD memory recording (page 36).

 

 

• Do not set SD memory recording rates on multiple network

 

 

disk recorders for the same camera.

 

 

• Audio recording and SD memory recording cannot be done

 

 

at the same time.

 

 

If the SD memory recording rate for a camera is set to

 

 

anything except [Off], audio recording for that camera

 

 

channel is automatically set to [Off].

 

 

 

*1 Initial default setting when camera is not registered

*2 Initial default setting when camera is registered (Compression Format: JPEG, M-JPEG)

*3 Initial default setting when camera is registered (Compression Format: MPEG-4)

Important:

Recording at the set recording rate and for the set recording time may not be possible depending on the network environment or the size of image data.

When a pre-event recording area has not been assigned to the HDD, the maximum pre-event recording time with audio on is 30 seconds.

We recommend setting the camera's refresh cycle to one second if the camera's compression format is MPEG-4. If the camera's refresh cycle is too long, pre-event recording data may not be created.

Recording for the set Post-event recording time may not be possible depending on the timing of the event occurrence.

When "Audio" and "Audio rec." are set to [On], ensure that the audio mode of the camera is set to [On]. Also, set the cameras audio bit rate to "32 kbps".

When the camera's audio bit rate is set again during operation, set the audio recording settings on the recorder to [Off] and then back to [On] again.

Audio interruptions may occur because of the "Mic input interval" (intervals for audio reception) setting of the camera. Select the interval setting of the camera according to the network environment.

Audio interruptions may occur because of the recording rate. To resolve this, change the recording rate according to the network environment.

To record audio, set the camera's "Audio transmission/reception" to "Mic input" or "Interactive(full duplex)". Some models and versions of cameras do not support "Interactive(full duplex)". For details refer to the operating instructions for the camera.

Audio is recorded regardless of whether single or multiple screen display is set.

Note:

In the case of an MPEG-4 image, set a recording time of at least 10 seconds.

Refer to the following table as a guideline when setting the times in pre-event recording.
