q
Use this menu to specify how each camera will record during normal
and event conditions.
TL: Records at the Time-lapse Record Rate under normal conditions.
Does not change record rate during an event.
Event: Records during events at the Event Record Rate. Camera
does not record under normal conditions.
Event + TL: Records at the Time-lapse Record Rate under normal
conditions. Records at the Event Record Rate during events.
About Events: An Event is an action that the unit acknowledges by recording at the
NOTE
Event Record Rate, yet it is not cause for an Alarm. Events may be created two ways,
via RS232 text insertion and Activity detection.
Example of an Event: A camera is pointed at the front door inside the lobby during
business hours. With the Event Camera Settings Type set to Event, the unit does not
record while the doorway is empty. When activity motion detection senses that
someone is entering or leaving the doorway, the unit begins recording at the Event
Record Rate and stops recording when the motion ceases.
RS232 Event: See section 8 for information about generating an Event via RS232, and
optionally inserting ASCII text to mark the Event.
Activity Detection Event: See Setup Parameters in section 3.13 for detailed
information about configuring activity detection as an event in the menu system.
Main Menu → Record → Timelapse Record Rate
q
The unit records at the Timelapse Record Rate under normal conditions, when there are no alarms,
events, or activity present. Record rates are measured in both Pictures Per Second (pps) and Seconds
Per Picture (spp).
The maximum record rate per camera is inversely proportional to the number of cameras connected to
the unit. The fewer cameras connected, the higher the maximum record rate for each camera, and vice
versa. The maximum record rate for multiple cameras is 24pps (NTSC)(20pps PAL). The maximum
record rate for a single camera is 30pps (NTSC)(25pps PAL).
The bottom right corner of the menu contains a record duration calculator. The top line indicates the
estimated recording time for the unit in Time-lapse record mode only. The bottom line indicates the
estimated recording time, taking into consideration the amount of time the unit will spend in Activity,
Event, and/or Alarm record mode.
