VCR Rec Mode
This item determines how the VCR Out signal is constructed during encoding. Field
or Frame mode can be used, but the selection must match the setting of the Time
Lapse VCR. The following are sample setups to illustrate the proper configuration of
VCR Rec Mode:
VCR Source
There are two types of connector for VCR IN: BNC and S-VHS (4 pin mini-DIN).
Either one must be connected to the Video OUT of the VCR in order to play back
previously recorded video tape. Select the connector type according to the connector
used in your application.
Rec Priority Mode
Use the RIGHT/LEFT keys to select Setup or Auto. Setup means that the camera
priorities during recording will follow the setup values in Configuration Table 1 (see
page 28). Auto means that cameras with motion detected will receive higher
recording priority automatically during a Motion Detection alarm.
