Recordings And Alarms
3.5 Recordings And Alarms
The recording and alarm functions are an important component in MxEasy. You determine
whether and when video sequences are recorded, which events trigger alarms and how
you will be notified in case of an alarm. Dierent operation modes enable you to adapt to
a variety of application scenarios:
• Switched O Mode: No recording, transmission of live images only
• Normal: Recordings and alarm notifications at any given time according to the alarm
configuration settings in the camera
• Alarm Planner: Recordings and alarm notifications according to the settings in the
alarm planner for the time ranges specified there
In the event of an alarm, the Manual Alarm can also be triggered. All cameras will then
record video and audio data for a specific period of time.
Dierent recording targets are available for recording. The cameras can save sound and
video data, depending on the model and version, to internal storage media (SD cards) or file
servers. New cameras (Q24M, D24M, M24M, T24M, D14, with the exception of basic and
web models) and R models are equipped with SD cards and preconfigured for recording.
If you want to set a recording target other than the preconfigured SD card, open the “Recording“
tab under the Camera | Camera Options menu.
3.5.1 Manual Recording
You can trigger a Manual Alarm at any time, for example if you notice a suspicious situation
that should be recorded. The images are recorded as you watch the situation in live images.
Activate the manual alarm by pressing the Manual Alarm button.
You can set the recording time either in the shortcut menu opened by this button or by the
number of mouse clicks. One click records one minute, another click records five minutes
and more clicking activates the continuous manual alarm. You can end the manual alarm
by selecting Manual Alarm O in the shortcut menu.
