Sanyo DSR-C100 instruction manual Pre-alarm PRE1 recording, Post-alarm POST-1 recording

SETTING THE RECORDING METHOD

Before using this camera, make sure that you set the current date and time. Recording will not be possible if they have not been set. (See page 22)

The images which are recorded by this camera (three images per second) are saved onto the hard disk. The initial settings for the hard disk are shown in the illustration, but each of the settings can be changed if required.

For details on changing the hard disk settings, refer to “HDD SET” in the SETTINGS screen. (See page 24)

The two available methods of recording the captured images are alarm recording and suspicion recording.

If the H (HOLD-UP) switch at the rear of the camera is not operated while recording images in the alarm recording area, then once recording has continued for the full length of time that has been set, it starts again automatically from the beginning of the hard disk and the images which are already on the hard disk are overwritten. This operation is continually repeated until recording is stopped.

For example, if new images are recorded at the beginning of the hard disk over the top of old images, then once 2 minutes and 30 seconds of new images have been recorded, 5 minutes' worth of old images will be deleted automatically.

Alarm recording

Alarm recording can be divided into pre-alarm recording, post-alarm recording and backup recording. For each method, images are recorded in the alarm recording area of the hard disk. The recording time can be set to between 10 and 90 minutes.

☞Pre-alarm (PRE1) recording

This is the normal method used for recording images. When “RECORD START” is selected, pre-alarm recording starts automatically. Images are recorded in the pre-alarm (PRE1) recording area of the hard disk.

For example, if the ALARM TIME recording period is set to the initial setting of 45 minutes, continuous recording to the pre-alarm area for 45 minutes occurs if no post-alarm recording is carried out. However, if the H (HOLD-UP) switch at the rear of the camera is turned on, the images recorded during the first 30 minutes of the 45-minute pre-alarm recording period are deleted, and this space then becomes the post-alarm recording area (POST ALARM 30 min) and is used for post-alarm recording. The pre-alarm recording area (PRE ALARM 15 MIN) is maintained according to the settings.

☞Post-alarm (POST-1) recording

A switch must be connected to the H (HOLD-UP) terminal at the rear of the camera for post-alarm recording to be carried out. Post-alarm recording is then carried out while the hold-up (H) switch is turned on.

If the switch which is connected to the H terminal is pressed and held during pre-alarm recording, the recording mode changes from pre-alarm recording to post-alarm recording. The images are recorded in the post-alarm (POST1) recording area of the hard disk.
