Behaviour in case of power failure and/or after
switching off
The selected settings are maintained after switching off
the video recorder or in the case of power failure.
After restoring the power supply, channel 1 (CH1) is
always automatically selected.
Tip:
The event recorder has no means of time-controlled
recording; instead it records when motion is detected. If
you wish to record using specified time periods, you can
control the mains power supply using a commercially
available timer. For example, to activate the device from
18:00 to 08:00 Monday to Friday and all the time at the
weekend. The device records when motion is detected
during the activated time. The camera from which the
images are to be recorded must be connected to camera
input Ch1.
16. Playback mode
You can view the stored images on a TV or a video
monitor. Alternatively, you can view the images stored on
the SD card on a PC with image viewer software. Viewing
the images on a digital camera or on a photo printer is not
possible due to the different file structure.
16.1 Playback on a PC
!
Switch off the event recorder using the ON/OFF
switch [14].
!
Remove the SD card from the memory card slot [18].
!
Insert the SD card into a card reader of your switched-

drive.
!
Select the desired daily directory, e.g. 08-01-09-00
(the daily directory is for 9 January 2008).
!
Select the desired file (AVI format = video sequence,
JPG format = still image), e.g. 22253400.JPG (the still

application is needed for viewing video sequences
(Media Player).
16.2 Playback on a video monitor or TV

If you press the “Play” button [10] repeatedly (not possible
if a recording is being made), the following sequence is
displayed:
If a power failure lasts longer than approx. 12 hours, the
date and time will be reset to the factory settings.
Note: As the date and time are only retained for approx.
12 hours after disconnection from the power, the switched
off time must be less than 12 hours.
