Overview of Recording

Types of Recording

The HSR-X200/X200P records video and audio (1 channel) in normal recording, alarm recording, or timer recording.

Normal recording

Initiated by pressing the zREC button, video and audio are recorded in the normal recording area of the built-in hard disk.

Alarm recording

Initiated by a trigger, such as an external signal or the internal sensor, video and audio are recorded in the alarm recording area of the built-in hard disk.

It is also possible to record tracing the specified time back from a trigger (Pre-alarm recording).

Timer recording

Recording is made during the specified period(s). Video and audio are recorded in the normal recording area of the built-in hard disk.

Data recorded by normal recording, alarm recording, or timer recording can be stored in the archive area assigned independently from the normal and alarm recording areas with a copy operation.

For details on operations, see “Data Storage” on page 29(GB).

Areas for Recording

The built-in hard disk (80 GB) is partitioned into the normal recording area, alarm recording area, and archive area for data storage.

The default is 80% assigned to the normal recording area and 19% assigned to the alarm recording area with the remaining 1% assigned to the archive area. You may change these percentages using RECORDING AREA SET of MAIN MENU 1.

For the normal recording area and alarm recording area, RECORDING CONDITIONS SET of MAIN MENU 1 permits you to choose whether to stop recording or overwrite when each area becomes full. The data in each area can be erased with a reset operation.

For details, see “Recording Area Settings” on page 46(GB).

Series recording

By connecting two or more HSR-X200/X200P units in series, recording can be continued on the subsequent units after a recording area of one HSR-X200/X200P becomes full.

When such series recording is activated with RECORDING CONDITIONS SET of MAIN MENU 1, recording will start on the second HSR- X200/X200P when the recording area of the first HSR- X200/X200P becomes full.

For details on connections and settings for series recording, see “Series Connections and Associated Settings” on page 38(GB).

Zoom in on the Camera Input

When the unit is in stop status or in a recording mode, you can zoom to a part of the picture from the camera on the monitor screen.

The operation is the same as with a playback picture. Zooming on the monitor has no effect on recording.

See “Zooming in on an Image” on page 33(GB).
