34 Video Multiplexer with Video Motion Detection
Autodetect VCR Speed If pin 37 on the alarms connector is connected to the VCR for
the timing signal (it may be named clock or trigger) the multi-
plexer can switch to the same recording speed as the VCR. Not
all VCRs send a signal when switching to an alarm recording rate.
See your VCR manual for details about whether this feature is
supported by your VCR. If the VCR does NOT send a signal, be
sure you enter the settings you want in the multiplexer menu for
VCR RECORD TIME and VCR ALARM RECORD TIME.
Multicamera Recording Multiple camera recording involves simply placing the VCR in
record mode. All cameras connected to the multiplexer are
encoded on tape. No action is required at the multiplexer.
NOTE: Several factors affect the order and rate at which
cameras are recorded. These include the number of
connected cameras, the number of cameras with
motion, and the number of alarms generated during
recording.
One Camera Recording The multiplexer can be directed to record a single priority camera
exclusively. This feature can be turned on or off at any time.
To start one camera recording:
1. Press and hold the 1 Cam (Function) button.
2. Press the Camera (116) button for the camera to be
recorded. The indicator light above that Camera button comes
on. The multiplexer displays the selected camera on the main
monitor and flashes the 1 Cam light to indicate that the
system is in one camera record mode.
Tape Recording Refer to Figure 1 Basic Multiplexer System. Make certain that
the video input of the VCR is connected to the vcr out or s-vhs
out connector on the multiplexer.
