3.4.2 Setting up a continuous recording or recording using activity detection
The system is set up for continuous recording or recording using activity detection during the
initial configuration. The following information describes the necessary steps for adding further
recordings or changing an existing configuration.
Activity detection scans the video image of a camera for changes. For example, when a
person appears in the video image, then this is detected by the system and the connected
recording process is started.
In contrast, continuous recordings are always active. Changes in the video image have no
effect on the system. This option requires a large amount of storage space.
The following components are required for the system set-up:
1. Activated camera to be recorded
2. Activated detector which starts the recording process
3. Created storage drive and archive
4. Created storage process
5. Created timer (optional)
6. Created activation
1. Activating the camera:
This point can be skipped if the camera has already been activated in the system.
Otherwise, open the system configuration and switch the view switch to the Camera view
(point 1). Open the TV33xx camera point from the list on the left and select the desired
camera. Activate this by checking the On/Off box.
To set up a recording, you only need to click on the Activity detection or Continuous recording
button. The system makes all other settings automatically.
Please note that the image archive is only assigned 150 MB of storage space. Additionally,
the image data is only recorded at one image per second and a 2CIF resolution. The
parameters can be adjusted manually if this is insufficient (see points 3 and 4 for more
details).
If special parameters are necessary for recording (recording rate, resolution, timer etc.) then
the complete set-up can also be created manually. Use the steps detailed below for this.
