Notes
• Perform Normal recording settings in auto recording settings.
• Normal recordings are factory-preset to "recordings ON" for all
cameras.
15.5. Pre-Recording
This function records images immediately before Priority recording or Alarm Event recording is initiated.
Setting the Pre-Recording interval to 1 second or more allows Pre-Recording to be performed. In Pre-
Recording, the recording rate and picture quality cannot be individually set for each camera. Instead,
recording rate, picture quality, and audio ON/OFF settings are common to all connected cameras. The
maximum recording rate per camera is 3 IPS. (Refer to
p. 85
; Pre-recording settings.)
Pre-Recording can be performed under the following conditions.
• When Priority recording begins while recording is stopped.
• When an alarm event occurs and alarm even recording begins while a schedule in which Normal Recording
is not available but Alarm Event Recording is available is in operation.
Note:
Pre-Recording cannot be performed during Normal Recording.
