To stop recording before the end of a tape

1 Press the STOP key.

A message to confirm that you want recording to stop is displayed.

2 Press the YES key.

Notes

•When you press the YES key, the unit starts copying the data remaining on the hard disk to the cassette tape. This operation may take 90 seconds at maximum, and you cannot change modes until it is completed. During this operation, the remaining time until a mode shift is enabled is displayed on the monitor screen and the character display of the recorder. (With the HSR-2/2P, it may take more than 90 seconds if you stop recording immediately after ending a Playback During Recording operation.)

•Some images recorded on the beginning of a tape may not be played. The duration that cannot be played depends on the recording cycle, the number of cameras, and the image-quality mode.

Example With a 1-second recording cycle, eight cameras, HIGH mode: approx. 3 seconds

With alarm recording in FRAME mode: approx. 6 frames

•If very few picture frames have been recorded continuously, time search and alarm search may fail, or the pictures may not be played correctly. It is therefore recommended to perform recording for a certain duration continuously. The recording duration required for correct playback depends on the recording cycle, the number of cameras, and the image quality mode.

Example With a 1-second recording cycle, eight cameras, HIGH mode: approx. 10 seconds or more

As continuously recorded duration is short in EVENT- or PREALARM-- mode alarm recording, it is especially recommended to specify as a short recording cycle as possible.

Data recording

The HSR-1/1P/2/2P records the following information as data along with the video signals.

The recorded data can be superimposed on the playback picture by so specifying on the Indication Control menu (page 4-8).

Camera names

The names specified for the cameras used for recording (up to 12 characters each) are recorded.

The default names are “1 CAMERA” to “16 CAMERA,” which can be changed from the Indication Control menu.

For details, see “Setting Camera Names” on page 5-8.

Recording mode/Time mode/Recording cycle/Image quality mode

Recording mode, Time mode, Recording cycle, and Image quality mode used for recording are recorded.
