• The maximum image buffer size capacity is approx. 6 MB.
If a large image size is set, the Frame Rate, Pre-event Buffer
and Post-event Buffer may not be achieved as specified
(P. 5-20).
• If buffering cannot be achieved as specified, an event log
message appears (P. 5-33).
Before using a large image size, confirm that no messages
appear in the event log (P. 5-33).
• Regardless of the image buffer frame rate setting, only a
single image will be uploaded when a timer event occurs.
