Chapter 4: Camera setup

Figure 12: Schedule recording screen

The selected recording schedule applies to all alarm types. You will be prompted to reboot the camera after making any schedule

modifications.

Pre and post-event recording times

The pre-event record time is used if you have the motion detection and/or external alarms enabled. Pre-event time refers to the time recorded before a motion or external alarm is triggered and includes the alarm data. If a motion or external alarm occurs and you have set the pre-event time to 5 seconds, the camera will record and save up to 5 seconds prior to the alarm event. Pre-event time options include: No Pre record, 5 (default), 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 seco nds.

The post-event record time is used if you have the motion detection and/or external alarms enabled. When an external or motion alarm is cleared, the camera will continue recording based on the value specified in this option. Options include: 5 (default), 10, 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, and 10 minutes.

To define a recording schedule:

1. In the Channel Parameters folder, click the Schedule Recordings subfolder to open its screen.

2. Click the Enable Recording box to enable recording.

you must define the motion detection alarm in order to trigger motion recording. See Chapter 7 “Alarm setup” on page 57 “for more inform ati on.

Camera tamper alarm

You can define camera tamper alarms. A camera tamper alarm refers to an alarm triggered when a camera view is blocked (either deliberately or accidentally). For example, the system can trigger an alarm if someone spray paints the camera lens.

You can also define the tampering sensitivity level. This can be useful to accommodate for accidental blocking of the camera view. An example is in a delivery dock when a truck delays in front of a camera during deliveries.

Use the Video Tampering screen in the Channel Parameters folder to change the video tampering settings.

Note: Deselect the “Enable Video Tampering” option to disable the video

tampering alarm.

This function controls when the dome camera switches to day or night

mode. The dome camera produces high-quality color video during the day or when light levels are high. At night or when light le vels are low the camera switches to monochrome and removes the infrared filter to improve IR sensitivity. There are three options:

Auto: The camera automatically switches between day and Night mode depending on the light levels. This is the default setting.

Day: Manually select Day mode. Night: Manually select Night mode.

This is the light level at which the IR cut filter in the camera switches to day

or night mode. The options include Low, Mid, and High. Default is Mid. Low indicates a higher sensitivity and can improve reliability of the lens so

that it is fast to switch to Day mode and relatively difficult to change into Night mode; High indicates that it is fast to switch to Night mode and difficult to change into Day mode.

Note: This option depends on the camera model.

Select one of the three options to control camera focus:

Auto focus: for the sharpest picture. This is the default setting.

Manual: The focus is adjusted manually by clicking the Focus buttons on the Web browser..
