Default: 50 s {Range: 1 s to a maximum} This maximum is defined by the number of detector boards and by the quality of the recorded images. Set the pre-incident time. The pre-incident time is the time before a board has detected an incident. The post incident time is the record time minus this pre-incident time. You set the pre-incident time shorter than or equal to the recording time. The pre-incident time can also be nil. In this case there are no pre-incident images. Example The record time is set to 50 s and the pre-incident time to 30 s. The images from the last 30 seconds are stored in a circular buffer of. In case of an incident another 20 seconds are recorded. then transmits 50 seconds of recording to the PC. Interval The interval defines the frame rate of the images. The parameter controls the time between two images of a detector board. In operation mode places images from each detector board in its circular buffer. After the last detector waits until the image interval is over. Then takes the next image of the first detector board. Default: the minimum possible interval for recording This minimum depends on the number of detector boards. Event Selection Select the events and alarms to create image sequences for. Default: No events or alarms selected Video Input Selection Select the camera to generate image sequences from upon an event or alarm. You can select the video input per detector board.
