Using the Still Picture Recording Function with a Predetermined Schedule

By using the "Schedule 1-/4" setting, you can construct a monitoring system that records pictures
according to a predetermined schedule. The still images captured in this way are recorded on a memory
card inserted into the VB101.

Sample application in combination with a lighting unit

This is a monitoring system of the type used in zoos and similar facilities in which the animals are
monitored during the hours they are unattended. The light switches on and still images are
captured at 15-minute intervals by a VC-C4R camera mounted on the ceiling. The equipment
shown in the figure below is connected to the terminals on the back of the VB101 at installation.

If you are not using photography triggered from an external device, leave the default priority
("Recording triggered by external device") unchanged.
Set the camera position for shooting to preset 1.
Insert a 5-second delay before shooting to allow the camera to stabilize in the shooting position.
Set the light to switch on when shooting begins and to switch off 10 seconds later.
Set the photograph operation time from 20:00 to 6:00. Because this is performed daily, set the
start time for 20:00 every day of every month.
Set a repeating interval for shooting of 10 minutes. Set the repeating number of times to 60 (6 times/hour x 10 hours).
Delete the recorded pictures at 12:00 on the next day. In this case, delete the pictures recorded in the
