A blank entry ends the list. For example a list set to the equivalent of “1 2 3 _ 5 6 7 _”
will only record cameras 1, 2 and 3. The first ‘blank’ after the ‘3’ ends the list.
Automatic Modification Of The Record List
The multiplexer will automatically modify the list in the case of alarms and/or motion
detection, according to the modification parameters selected by you in the Alarm and
Motion Detection menus. For example, you can select ‘interleaved recording’ on
alarm. In this case, a camera in alarm will be recorded in virtual real time.
Note
If alarms and motion detection occur at the same time, the alarm’s modifications to
the record list will take precedence and will cancel all modifications made to the
record list via motion detection. Refer to the Alarm and Motion Detection sections
in this manual for more detail.
VCR Programming
Note
The multiplexer does not control the set up of the VCR itself. You must ensure that
the VCR is correctly programmed and has correct alarm inputs.
Unless the Vext input (see below) is used, it is important that the multiplexer is
programmed with the same record speeds as those to which the VCR has been set
for normal and alarm recording. The multiplexer programming menus provide a
simple interface for accomplishing this.
A VCR Camera Switch Input (or Vext) is also provided on the multiplexer, which
automatically adjusts the speeds to coincide with the VCR operation. In this case, the
multiplexer's recording speed need not be programmed.
Time-lapse VCRs are usually capable of dual speed operation, allowing two different
speeds of recording during normal operation and alarm situations. This allows faster
updates to be recorded in an alarm condition.
If the VCR switch input is not active, then the record speeds in the multiplexer menus
must match those set in the VCR.
The record speeds can be programmed in the Normal Record Speed and Alarm
Record Speed sections of the Record sub-menu. The factory default settings are 3
hour (NORMAL) and 3 hour (ALARM)
