event.

Event + TL: Records at the Time-lapse Record Rate under normal conditions. Records at the Event Record
Rate during events.
Event overview
About Events: An Event is an action that the unit acknowledges by recording at the Event Record Rate, yet it
is not cause for an Alarm. Events may be created two ways, via RS232 text insertion and Activity detection.
Example of an Event: A camera is pointed at the front door inside the lobby during business hours. With the
Event Camera Settings Type set to Event, the unit does not record while the doorway is empty. When activity
motion detection senses that someone is entering or leaving the doorway, the unit begins recording at the Event
Record Rate and stops recording when the motion ceases.
RS232 Event: See RS232 Event Generation/Text Insertion Protocol on page 93 for information about
generating an Event via RS232, and optionally inserting ASCII text to mark the Event.
Activity Detection Event: See Main Menu / Motion Detection / Setup Parameters on page 55 for detailed
information about configuring activity detection as an event in the menu system.
Main Menu / Record / Timelapse Record Rate
The unit records at the Timelapse Record Rate under normal conditions, when there are no alarms, events, or
activity present. Record rates are measured in both Pictures Per Second (pps) and Seconds Per Picture (spp).
The maximum record rate per camera is inversely proportional to the number of cameras connected to the unit.
The fewer cameras connected, the higher the maximum record rate for each camera, and vice versa. The
