How the three Record Modes work 

The illustrations below compare the 

Clip

, 

Loop

, and 

Loop & Forward

 

Record Modes

. When the explanation of 

the examples refers to a tag, it means to send a tag command through the Web Programmable HTML/XML 
interface. 

In these diagrams, with the STREAM in Record Standby mode, we show video recording done in a 10 minute 
period between starting recording and stopping recording. The green area on the timeline indicates what 
video footage is actually captured. 

In all three examples, the 

Tag

 command was sent three times: at 00:02:06, at 00:05:54, and at 00:07:50. The 

examples show how the results are different in all three cases. 

The 

Loop Record Time

 is set to 30 seconds. 

 

 

Using the Clip Record Mode, recording starts when a record start command is sent and runs continuously until 
a record stop command is sent. This is exactly the way a standard video recorder works. In addition, each time 
the Tag command is sent, a tag is recorded, for later editing use. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using the 

Loop

 

Record Mode

, recording starts when the 

record start 

command is sent, but the captured video 

isn’t saved until a 

tag command

 is sent. When a 

tag command

 is sent at 00:02:06, a set of three short clips, 

called 

loops

, are saved, one for each segment indicated in green around that tag. When a 

tag command

 is 

sent at 00:05:54, another set of loops is saved, and finally, when a 

tag command

 is sent at 00:07:50, a third set 

of loops is saved. 

When in the 

Loop Record Mode

, sending a tag command causes a set of loops to be saved, but it does NOT 

put a tag on the video. Each loop is saved as a separate, untagged clip. 

How loops are defined 

You may have noticed that the saved clip isn’t always aligned exactly the same way with the clip. This is 
because of the way the 

Loop

 

Record Mode

 captures the loop clips.
