Alarm Record Settings
These menu settings apply when an alarm or activity event is in progress.
The occurrence of alarms is unpredictable so the data retention period is affected by alarms.
Rate
This specifies the overall image rate that is used when an alarm or activity event is in
progress. The rate is shared between cameras.
Alarm Cameras (Auto)
Under alarm conditions, this option specifies whether all cameras are recorded or just those
with alarms.
To ensure full security coverage, it is recommended that all cameras are selected.
Custom Record Mode
If custom record mode is selected, image pretension set by number of days is no longer
used.
Instead, the installer is responsible for setting the record rate on each camera.
Different rates may be selected for day and night. The day and night times may be different
for weekday and weekends.
In addition, different rates may be set for use under alarm conditions.
Enable Custom Mode
Set to YES only if you wish to use custom mode rather than the auto record mode.
If you select custom mode, you must set record rates for each camera under day and night,
non-alarm and alarm conditions. The time for which images will be retained is dependent on
these rates and is indicated on the rates setup screen.
Day/Night Timers
These timers specify what is considered day and night by subsequent options. Weekdays
and weekends are treated separately.
Day and night may be considered as just two different time periods rather than actually day
and night. For example AM and PM, if this happened to be more relevant to the particular
installation.
Weekday Daytime
Highlight each hour that is to be considered as daytime during weekdays.
use the [TAG] key to toggle all hour blocks on and off.
