- E E vent Camera Group Recording:
This feature allows users to setup a recording rule so when a single camera has an event triggered, multiple cameras will start
recording. There are a total of four (4) groups you can setup (Group A~D). Each camera can be added to one group only. The
group's recording parameters will follow that of the first camera added to the group. For example, if CH 4 was added first to
Group B, then all other cameras in Group B will follow CH4's recording settings for events.
To setup:
1. Go to the master channel, the one you want to use as the recording guide for all other cameras in the group.
2. Under the GROUP REC. drop-down, select the group you want to add the camera to (For example, GROUP A).
3. Go to the next camera you want to add to this group. Select the same group (GROUP A) from the GROUP REC. drop-
down.
4. Click SAVE. Repeat with all other cameras you want to add to that group.
Below is an example how Event Camera Group Recording works:
Recording Scenario #1 ( CH1,2 and 3 is GROUP A)
CH1- Motion Recording , CH2-Sensor Recording, CH3- Continuous Recording. CH2 & CH3 will follow CH1's (Master CH)
recording schedule.
When one of the camera detects motion, all 3 cameras in the group will start recording as motion (CH1's settings).
N
Setting up PANIC recording for a camera in a group will trigger panic recording for all channels of the
O O TE
SYSTEM .
If the master camera's settings are set via the quick setup mode, all other cameras in the group will follow the
same quick setup mode schedule if an event is detected.
The Event Camera Group recordings work on Sensor and Motion detections only..
