Overview of Recording

Types of Recording

The HSR-X200/X200P records video and audio (1
channel) in normal recording, alarm recording, or
timer recording.
Normal recording
Initiated by pressing the z REC button, video and
audio are recorded in the normal recording area of the
built-in hard disk.
Alarm recording
Initiated by a trigger, such as an external signal or the
internal sensor, video and audio are recorded in the
alarm recording area of the built-in hard disk.
It is also possible to record tracing the specified time
back from a trigger (Pre-alarm recording).
Timer recording
Recording is made during the specified period(s).
Video and audio are recorded in the normal recording
area of the built-in hard disk.
Data recorded by normal recording, alarm recording,
or timer recording can be stored in the archive area
assigned independently from the normal and alarm
recording areas with a copy operation.
For details on operations, see "Data Storage" on page
30(GB).
Note
Though it is rare case, but it includes the possibility of
image loss.

Areas for Recording

The built-in hard disk is partitioned into the normal
recording area, alarm recording area, and archive area
for data storage.
The default is 80% assigned to the normal recording
area and 19% assigned to the alarm recording area
with the remaining 1% assigned to the archive area.
You may change these percentages using
RECORDING AREA SET of MAIN MENU 1.
For the normal recording area and alarm recording
area, RECORDING CONDITIONS SET of MAIN
MENU 1 permits you to choose whether to stop
recording or overwrite when each area becomes full.
The data in each area can be erased with a reset
operation.
For details, see "Recording Area Settings" on page 51(GB).
Series recording
By connecting two or more HSR-X200/X200P units in
series, recording can be continued on the subsequent
units after a recording area of one HSR-X200/X200P
becomes full.
When such series recording is activated with
RECORDING CONDITIONS SET of MAIN
MENU 1, recording will start on the second HSR-
X200/X200P when the recording area of the first HSR-
X200/X200P becomes full.
For details on connections and settings for series recording,
see "Series Connections and Associated Settings" on page
40(GB).

Zoom in on the Camera Input

When the unit is in stop status, you can zoom to a part
of the picture from the camera on the monitor screen.
The operation is the same as with a playback picture.
Zooming on the monitor has no effect on recording.
