To record video by detecting an alarm condition, after compl eting the configuration on this screen, you must select an alarm event in [ALARM EVENT] on the RECORDING screen.

Configure the input conditions of each alarm input terminal pr ov ided on the rear face of the camera.

Before you start the following procedure, connect an external alarm device to one of the alarm input terminals (“ALARM IN1” in this example). For details, refer to the “Al ar m Input/ Output Terminal Connections” section.

If you set [CLOCK ADJUST] to “ALARM IN1” on the CLOCK SETTINGS screen, the ALARM IN1 terminal serves dedi c atedly as a time adjustment terminal. In this case, the [SET VALUE] column of [ALARM IN1] shows “CLOCK IN” in, allowing you to select a value in [POLARITY] only.

If you set [DAY/NIGHT] to “COLOR” and [ EXT ALARM] to “ALARM I N1” or “ALA RM IN2” under [DAY/NIGHT] on the CAMERA SETTINGS screen, the corresponding terminal will serve as a Day/Night switching terminal. In this case, the [SETTING ITEMS] column shows “DAY/NIGHT” as the column title, allowing y ou to selec t only the item [POLARITY].
