Set Motion Detection Recording
Step 6: Set frame rate and pre and post event recording duration
1. [Max. Frame Rate] - select a maximum frame rate for recorded video from the drop-down menu. Choose
from 0.1 frames per second to 30 frames per second (5 is the default).
2. [Record for] [sec. before event] - enter a number of seconds for the amount of recording time before the
event occurs (up to 30 seconds).
Note
If [Continuously at Max.] is also selected, Record for before event is not available.
If Record for before event is set, it will take approximately 10 seconds after event occurrence until its
display in the viewer.
If the resolution is set to MPEG-4, the frame rate set in the VB-C500VD, VB-C500D or VB-C60 becomes
enabled.
3. [Record for] [sec. after event] - enter a number of seconds for the amount of recording time after the event
occurs (up to 999 seconds).
Step 7: Set the [External Outputs]
Click the drop-down menu for the target external device and set [On] or [Not specified].
Note
Available external outputs depend on the Camera Server.
Click [OK] to save the new settings and close the dialog.
Click [Cancel] to discard the new settings.
Note
Even with 0 seconds set to [Recorded for __ sec. before event] and [Recorded for __ sec. after event] fields,
video is still recorded while motion is being detected.
Tip
See Chapter 6 for optimizing the Motion Detection operation.
