6-3-5. Regarding Timelapse / Update Mode Setting
u
If set to TIMELAPSE:
Record intervals are calculated by total camera switchover time. In this case, if a camera
channel is powered OFF at night, the record interval for other cameras will be faster. This
setting also allows for selected cameras to have recording priority and be recorded more
often than normal channels (see sec. ‘6-3-4. Regarding Record Channel Setting’).
u
If set to UPDATE:
Record intervals are
calculated by refresh time
(total time to complete one cycle through
available cameras). In this case, if a camera channel is powered OFF at night, the record
interval for each camera will still remain the same. Also, less drive space will be required to
record cameras that are still powered ON.
Important
UPDATE MODE record interval cannot be selected if any
channels are set to FAST or SENS in REC CHANNEL
sub menu. (Only TIME-LAPSE MODE can be selected.)

TIMELAPSE Examples and Settings
TIMELAPSE
NORM: CH1 – CH8
SKIP: CH9 – CH16
Record interval: TIMELAPSE MODE 1.00SEC
In this case, one field will be recorded for each channel, with a timelapse (record interval) of 8
sec. between each recorded field as shown below.
If cameras 5 – 8 are powered OFF at night, the record interval for other cameras will be faster.
In this case, the timelapse (record interval) will become 4 sec. between each recorded field
as shown below.
