SENSOR (24) of the corresponding camera chan-
nel. The settings for alarm detection and the alarm
evaluation are described in chapter 10.
The requirements for starting an alarm-controlled
recording are general approval of the camera chan-
nel for recording (
chapter 8.1), presence of a
video signal and selection of time-controlled record-
ing (
chapter 8.2.3) with the setting “Alarm record-
ing” at the time of alarm triggering.

or manual recording
recording triggered via an alarm input
recording triggered via the internal motion detec-
tor
no start of recording because there is no hard
disk, the hard disk has not been formatted or the
hard disk is full (if the overwrite mode has been
deactivated
chapter 8.1.1, step 4 OVERWRITE
= DISABLE)
8.2.6 Storage according to type of recording
According to the start of the recording, the video
data will be stored as “alarm recording” or “normal
recording”. For replay, the files can be selected
according to their type.
If an alarm is triggered via an alarm input or the
internal motion detector during a permanent or time-
controlled recording, the recorder will create a new
file of the type “alarm recording” on the hard disk. At
the end of the alarm recording time (
chapter
10.1, DURATION), recording will be continued with a
new file of the type “normal recording”.
However, with a recording started manually, a file
of the type “normal recording” will be stored continu-
ously, even if in the meantime an alarm is triggered
and the icon or is inserted (
chapter 8.2.5).
