In

 

addition

 

to

size,

 

the

 

recording

 

mode

 

must

 

be

 

specified

 

individually

 

for

 

each

 

camera

 

as

 

well.

 

The

 

basic

 

SmartDisc 02

distinction

 

is

 

between

 

permanent

 

(long-term)

 

recording

 

and

 

event

 

triggered

 

recording.

 

Both

 

modes

 

can

 

be

 

set

 

for

 

the

 

same

 

camera.

 

Switching

 

between

 

modes

 

is

 

controlled

 

by

 

an

 

integrated

 

timer

 

module.
