VI. ADVANCED RECORDING

Advanced recording is comprised of customizing various event recording options such as alarm, video loss and motion. Event recording maximizes recording time with the available storage space. Event recording can also utilize the backup mode hard drives in addition to normal recording hard drives for duplicate copies of the events.

Prior to activating event recording, please verify that event options are activated in either the QUICK SETUP menu or the RECORD PROGRAM menu. Please note that if QUICK SETUP is not used, then certain parameters in the EVENT menu must be activated for the event recording to work properly. Moreover, please verify that the proper program number is being used under RECORD SETUP.

There are two methods for event recording. The first method is recording events in addition to manual recording, and the second method is event recording only. The first method involves leaving the REC button on to start recording manually and combining event recording. This would be useful in a scenario where a location needs to be recorded continuously even at a very minimal recording speed, but when an event is triggered, the recording speed is boosted to the desired pictures per second. The second method involves leaving the REC button off so that only events are recorded.

The following settings will assume that the second method is used for event recording. With either method, the events will trigger the designated relays and send out notification e-mails if the e-mail addresses have been defined.

6.1 ALARM RECORDING

Alarm recording is a form of event recording that triggers off of the circuit lines connected to the terminal blocks in the rear of the DVR. Typical circuits comprise of normally closed circuits (NC) and normally open circuits (NO).

Verify that the alarm option has been selected in either QUICK SETUP or RECORD PROGRAM.

SAGA “ST-H” Series

The channels on which the alarm is triggered will display the “ALARM” message. The REC button will light up as the DVR starts to record and the channel status will change to red.

SENSOR INPUT:

Select the right sensor type according to the installed Sensor type in the unit. NORMAL OPEN: Sensor is open in normal times. NORMAL CLOSE: Sensor is close in normal times. NOT INSTALLED: No Sensors are connected to the DVR unit.

6.2 VIDEO LOSS RECORDING

Video loss recording is a form of event recording that is triggered when a channel loses its video input signal. Video loss recording is useful to have other channels compensate for the loss of the video signal on a specific channel. For example, when a video loss occurs on channel 1, then the DVR can start recording on channel 2, 3 and 4. Moreover, the channel which loses the video signal will retain the last five seconds of the video to retain what occurred before the video loss.

Verify that the video loss option has been selected in either QUICK SETUP or RECORD PROGRAM.

SAGA “ST-H” Series

The channel on which the video loss occurred will display the “VLOSS” message. The REC button will light up as the channels that are designated to record when a specific channel has a video loss start recording.

On the example to the left, channels 2, 3 and 4 are designated to record when channel 1 goes out.

The recording will include the pre and post recording time on the channels that are recording.

The channels which detect motion will display the “MOTION” message. The REC button will light up and the channel status will change the color to red in the channels in which the motion was detected.
