TOA Electronics C-DR161 CU Series Auto Recording Alarm Event Recording and Normal Recording

15.4. Auto Recording (Alarm Event Recording and Normal Recording)

With auto-recording, recordings are made according to a preset schedule, which can include up to twelve different programs. If one or more programs have duplicate execution times, the program with a largest number takes precedence. Settable items for each program include: Day of the Week; Start/End Times; and Operation. Up to six settings groups, named A through F, can be made for “Operation,” and recording settings for Normal and Alarm recording can also be registered. Further, up to sixty “special day” operational settings can also be made, with operation controlled by different programs, motion detection areas for individual cameras, and audio recording during auto- recording. (Refer to p. 79; Auto-Recording Settings.)

Notes

•If the Alarm display interval is set to "0" second, no full-screen display is performed and the current display status is maintained.

•If an alarm event occurs outside the scheduled time period, Alarm Event recording is not performed.

15.4.1. Alarm event recording

Alarm Event recording includes both “Alarm Input” and “Motion Detection” recording. For Alarm Event recording, settable items for each individual camera include: Recording ON/OFF; Recording Rate; and Picture Quality. It is also possible to set, for each recording mode, the type of events that will cause recording to begin. (Refer to p. 82; Alarm Event Recording Setting.)

For Alarm Event recording mode, it is possible to set the type of recording operation to be performed when multiple events have occurred simultaneously. Setting the mode to “Sequence” allows two or more events to be set for individual cameras. For Alarm Input recording time, set both alarm input mode and post alarm time intervals. For Motion Detection, set both motion detection mode and post-motion alarm time. (Refer to p. 80; Setting of groups A-F.)

When an alarm event occurs, the corresponding camera’s image is switched to full-screen display until the preset alarm time interval has elapsed, after which the display reverts to the original screen display. (Refer to p. 86; Screen Display Setting.)

Alarm input recording: Alarm Input recording begins when signals are received at the alarm input terminal on the rear panel. Use Event settings to link cameras that are to have their images recorded and alarm input terminal. If “Sequence” is selected, up to four alarm input terminals can be set optionally per camera. If “Last” is selected, the “Alarm ON/OFF” can be set only for the alarm input terminal with a number corresponding to that of the camera.

Motion detected recording: Motion Detection recording begins when motion is detected in a camera image. Use Motion Settings to set the motion detection area, sensitivity, and activation. Use Event settings to link cameras that are to have their images recorded and cameras that are to use motion detection. If “Sequence” is selected as the alarm event recording mode, then up to four alarm input terminals can be set optionally per camera. If “Last” is selected, the “Alarm ON/OFF” can be set only for the alarm input terminal with a number corresponding to that of the camera.
