3. If the recorder is event-triggered, select the triggers that will cause the recording to start:
• VMD: If VMD is enabled for the camera (see Video Motion Detection (VMD),
page 101), and you want VMD events to trigger event recording, select VMD.
• S1 – S4: If you want sensor events to trigger event recording, select the sensors you
want to function as triggers.
• A1 – A2: If you want activator events to trigger event recording, select the
activators you want to function as triggers.
Note: VMD is not automatically selected when it is enabled. Furthermore, if none of the
sensors or activators is selected, and the VMD is not selected, no recording will take
place.
4. If the recorder is event-triggered, fill in the pre-record and post-record values as follows:
• Pre-record: The number of seconds before each event that should be included in
the recording of the event. Range: 1–9 seconds.
• Post-record: The number of seconds following each event that should be included
in the recording of the event.
CAUTION: When you update the quality or size values in this screen, all the recorded
video that is currently stored from this camera on the hard drive is deleted.
