The recording duration for the emergency recording

er recording with a different recording mode (emergency recording, event recording and schedule recording)
is being performed, the [REC] indicator (on the [REC] button) will remain lit and the other recording will con-
tinue.
• No image will be recorded when no image data is being sent from the camera. When image data is sent,
recording will start.
• Images (data) recorded by manual recording or schedule recording will be divided into multiple files every
hour on the hour. In that moment, recording may sometimes be interrupted around for 1 second.

etc.
