Backup recording
If there is 20 minutes or more of available recording time remaining in the post-alarm recording area of the hard disk after post-alarm recording is completed, backup recording (pre-alarm 2 (PRE2) recording) starts automatically. It follows from this that if there is not 20 minutes or more of time remaining, backup recording is not carried out.
Pre-alarm 2 (PRE2) recording starts automatically.
“PRE2-ALARM REC” is displayed.
If an emergency situation develops, press and hold the H (HOLD-UP) switch.
“POST2-ALARM REC” will be displayed and post-alarm 2 (POST2) recording will start.

3When the emergency situation has ended, release the H (HOLD-UP) switch. “ALARM REC FULL” will be displayed and alarm recording will end.
Note:
When post-alarm 2 (POST2) recording has ended, there will not be any more space available for recording, and so it will not be possible to continue alarm recording. To re-start pre-alarm recording, transfer the image data to a computer and then carry out either one of the following two operations.
•Select “DELETE” from the FUNCTIONS screen, and delete all of the image data. (See page 73)
•Select “INITIALIZE” from the HDD SET sub-screen of the SETTINGS screen and re-initialize the hard disk. (See page 24)
