Note
• The on-screen time display may not correspond with camera
time by several seconds (p. 50).
• Depending on video quality settings, on-screen display may
become difficult to decipher. Set after confirming appearance
on actual images.
• Block noise may become noticeable if a large video size and
low target bit rate are set.
• The data size may increase depending on the type or
movement of the subject. If the frame rate remains low or
other undesirable conditions continue for a prolonged
period, lower the video size or quality setting.
• Note that if you are using included RM-Lite, the hard disk
usage will also be affected during recording.
Important
The on-screen time display is not suitable for usage where high
reliability is required. Use as reference information only where
utmost and constant reliability is required for surveillance.
