Alarm Recording; Settings For Alarm Recording - Sony HSR-X200 Operating Instructions Manual

Alarm Recording

The HSR-X200/X200P automatically starts alarm
recording when it detects the specified trigger.
For the trigger, you can select the following alarm
signals independently or in combination:
1. External alarm input
2. Internal alarm generated by the built-in activity
detection sensor when it detects a change in
luminance at the specified points on the camera
input picture.
By activating pre-alarm recording, the HSR-X200/
X200P continues recording the camera input,
overwriting the data for the specified duration. When
the trigger is detected, the HSR-X200/X200P switches
to regular alarm recording. This enables you to check
the image a certain time before the trigger is actually
detected.
Note
When a multiplexer is in use, you can only select
external alarm input for the trigger and must select a
certain channel (camera number) to be recorded.
For channel selection, see "Multiplexer Channel Selection"
on page 35(GB).
