PICO2000 will automatically detect available fixed hard disk(s) in the unit for
recording for "Normal" backup mode of operation.
PICO2000 will directly record into the active removable hard disk in the unit
for "Archive" backup mode of operation.
Notes: The active (selected) drive should be assigned properly before the
overall backup and restore operation is executed. Assign the target drive inside
the "Insert drive" message box by clicking the "Swap Drive" button while the
system is operated in "Archive" backup mode. Go to the "Option Setting"
chapter for further detail.
According to the recording initiation method, four different modes are
available for selection in PICO-2000:
Instant recording
Scheduled recording
Pre-alarm recording
Alarm recording
All cameras can be recorded independently.
Each camera will be recorded into individual video file(s).
The camera ID, start date/time, and the recording mode of the individual
camera will be logged with database management.
Pico2000 has a "RECORDER" panel (see Figure 7) to let the user interact with
the unit for recording control with enough indication.
There are sixteen camera buttons in the "RECORDER" panel, all of which can
be toggled on or off.
Each button has four built-in indicators with different colors to indicate
different recording modes and statuses.
The available indicator colors are yellow, red, light blue and green,
respectively.
Yellow -- the corresponding camera is performing instant recording, which
is initiated by the pressing down of the button manually.
Red -- the corresponding camera is under alarm recording, which is
initiated by the alarm input or by motion detection.
Light blue -- that the pre-alarm function of that camera is activated.
Green -- the corresponding camera is under scheduled recording, which is
controlled by the programmable timer.
