Configuring Recording Schedules; Configuring Schedules With Automatic Camera Registration - Sony NSR Series User'smanual

Configuring Recording
Schedules
You can configure a recording schedule for each camera or
group to perform recording at regular intervals, and start
recording when an alarm or event occurs.
There are the following types of schedule.
• Schedule Recording (Normal Recording)
This records images from cameras at regular intervals
according to the set schedule.
• Alarm Recording
This begins recording only when an alarm occurs within
the time set for the schedule.
• Event Recording
This begins recording only when an event occurs within
the time set for the schedule.
You can use the following procedures to configuring
schedules.
• Configuring Schedules with Automatic Camera
Registration (page 77)
Configure an automatic recording schedule with
conditions that have been provided in advance.
• Configuring Schedules Manually (page 79)
You can manually configure the durations for
performing schedule recording, alarm recording, and
event recording. The duration setting methods are
"recurrent schedule," which allows you to repeat
schedules weekly, and "date & time schedule," which
allows you to specify specific dates and times to run
schedules.
• Configuring Alarm Recording/Event Recording
(page 81)
You can configure an alarm recording/event recording to
begin recording only when an alarm or event occurs
within the duration configured for the schedule.
Caution
Before you set alarm recording or event recording,
configure the inputs that will be the alarm triggers and the
motion detection function. For the setting procedure, refer
to "Configuring Motion Detection Settings" (page 59) and
"Configuring Sensor Inputs" (page 86).
Record Segmenting in Continuous Long-
term Recording
When you record continuously over a long period (such as
from 00:00 to 24:00 every day for a long time), the number
of configuration files for a record may exceed 10,000
When this happens, the record is segmented, and
subsequent data is recorded as a new record. If a record is
segmented, it will be displayed as a different record in
searches and the like.
1) The number 10,000 is the total number of files since
recording started. It includes files that are deleted with
the cleanup and data overwrite functions.
The time period segmented will differ depending on the
frame rate and resolution.
Example:
Conditions
Time until segmentation Approx. 19 days
When recording continuously over long periods, we
recommend segmenting the record by setting a recording
schedule that inserts a 1-second recording break each day.
For details, refer to "Configuring Schedules Manually"
(page 79).
Configuring Schedules with
Automatic Camera Registration
Configure an automatic recording schedule with the
following conditions that have been provided in advance.
Automatic camera registration allows you to configure
automatic recording for schedule recording and alarm
recording.
Note
If a schedule or alarm recording was configured with
automatic camera registration, check whether it matches
operation and finely adjust the device settings if necessary.
