Multiple Data Storage & Backup
Three Storage Areas on the HDD
The HDD of the HSR-X Series of recorders are divided into
three areas – a normal recording area, an alarm recording
area, and an archive area. The recording capacity for the
normal recording and alarm recording areas can be freely
allocated depending on your preferences, and images
recorded in these areas can be copied to the archive
recording area. A maximum of 9999 images can be stored
in the archive recording area.
Various Backup Features
Data copied to the archive area on the HDD can be easily
backed up to various media. A built-in PC card slot on the
front panel of HSR-X recorders enables you to download
images onto a Memory Stick media using a PC card adaptor.
Furthermore, data can be backed up to DDS-2/3* or CD-R*
with an optional SCSI card* via the PC card slot on the rear panel.
* Please contact your nearest Sony office or authorized dealer for compatible
DDS-2/3, CD-Rs, or SCSI cards.
Pre-reverse Play (Playback-during-recording)
The Pre-reverse Play function of HSR-X recorders allows you to
view previously recorded images without having to stop
recording. By setting the pre-reverse time (1 to 99 minutes) on
the setup menu in advance, these recorders instantly playback
images at just the touch of a button while continuing to record.
This feature provides outstanding operation flexibility.
Four Preset Program Recording Modes
(HSR-X216/32 only)
With four types of program recording modes to choose from,
the HSR-X216/32 recorder allows you the flexibility to select
the preferred number of camera inputs and recording speed.*
By registering a particular program recording mode, you can
easily select it again. These modes can be used in conjunction
with timer-recording mode or alarm recording mode.
* Program recording mode supports a maximum of 30 fields/s recording rate.
Independent Record Refresh
(HSR-X216/32 only)
The HSR-X216/32 recorder provides the added benefit of
allowing users to choose recording refresh rates for each
input, up to maximum refresh total of 30 images/second.
Timer Recording
Timer recording can be activated on a weekly or daily basis
with a maximum of eight timer settings.
Alarm Recording
With their flexible alarm-recording settings, the HSR-X
recorders provide a high level of functionality during alarm
incidents. When the recorder detects an alarm internally
generated by the built-in Activity Detection sensor, or an
external alarm input, or both, it automatically switches to alarm
recording mode.
* Alarm recording mode supports a maximum of 30 fields/s recording rate.
• ONLY Mode
When an alarm signal is received, the HSR-X recorders
continuously record the specific camera image that detected the
alarm event.
• SW Mode
This mode prioritizes the recording cycle of the camera that
detected the alarm event.
• Pre-alarm Mode
Images recorded prior to an alarm input are stored on the hard
disk and can be played back when in pre-alarm mode. This mode
helps to verify how alarm incidents have occurred. You can set the
pre-alarm time within the range of 5 seconds to 15 minutes.
* When pre-alarm mode is set to ON, the recording rate is fixed to 15 fields/s
in normal/pre-alarm recording.
Activity Detection Function
The HSR-X recorders are is equipped with an activity detection
sensor that is designed to recognize changes in luminance.
The sensor is based on a 10 x 16 grid (HSR-X216/32)
or 8 x 10 grid (HSR-X200 and HSR-X200/16) on the monitor,
and ten levels of sensitivity are selectable. If a change in
luminance is detected in the assigned area of the grid, an
alarm is triggered. The system allows the user to set the
alarm to begin recording upon activation. In addition, the
HSR-X recorders have an activity detection search function
that allows the user to search recorded material for scenes in
which a change in luminance was detected.
• A and B mode
(HSR-X216/32 only)
The alarm is triggered when a moving object is detected at both
the A point and the B point.
• B to A mode
(HSR-X216/32 only)
The alarm is triggered when an object is detected moving
from the B point to the A point.
Audio Single Channel Recording and Playback
One-channel audio recording and playback is available
within the range of 10 to 60 fields/s.
