Only the live pictures from the camera for which programmed
recording is set are recorded.
MODE2:
The live pictures from the camera for which programmed
recording is set are recorded together with the live pictures
from the other cameras.
OFF:
Programmed recording will not be done.
NOTE:
•
Programmed recording of multiple cameras is done by switching to
each camera in order.
•
In the (CAMERA SET) menu, set for each camera if programmed
recording is to be conducted or not (see page 36).
•
The recording mode set here is the same as the ACTIVE REC
recording mode (see page 34). The programmed recording mode is
the normal recording mode applied to the camera, while the active
recording mode will modify the recording mode for the camera when
an external alarm or a video sensor trigger is received.
•
Any camera for which programmed recording is turned off, will not be
recorded when an external alarm or a video sensor trigger is
received. To record from a camera for which programmed recording
is turned off, when an external alarm or a video sensor trigger is
received, set the active recording mode to on.
