A represents a directory created automatically. The Date_No. directory has a 11-digit name consisting of the last two digits of year (2 digits), month (2 digits), day (2 digits) underscore and sequence number (2 digits).

A directory can contain video files of up to approximately 1 MB when you use the built-in memory. A new directory will be created automatically if the size of the video files in the current directory exceeds the maximum size, and recording will continue.

Note

When you use CF memory card, the directory size varies by the card capacity.

About the extension of a file

A file to be recorded/sent using the image memory function or the FTP client function has one of the following three extensions depending on the video mode setting and the recording/sending settings of the camera.

.m4f: Represents the MPEG4 video mode.

.jpf: Represents the JPEG video mode when Use alarm buffer is checked in the alarm recording/alarm sending menu. This file includes audio data.

.jpg: Represents the JPEG video mode when Use alarm buffer is not checked in the alarm recording/ alarm sending menu. This file can be viewed with a normal image viewer.

The SNC video player (page 69) allows playing of “.m4f” and “.jpf” files.
