2.5.5 Sensor Detection Recording
When the signal of a sensor that is attached to the camera is detected, sensor recording starts. Set the sensor detection method for individual cameras (→ Setting the sensor detection method).
Sensor recording only operates when the JPEG format is selected. If the MPEG-4 format is selected, change the format to JPEG (→Image Settings Page).
1.
From the multi-monitoring window, select a camera for sensor detection recording.
A green frame is displayed around the selected camera.
2.
Click   and select [Start Sensor Detection Recording] from the menu displayed.
Starts sensor detection recording by the selected camera.
To stop recording from a camera, select the camera, click  , and select [Stop Sensor Detection Recording] from the menu which is displayed.
Note
Recording will not stop even if you close the operating window with .
When  is displayed in the notification area, the recording software is running. (→ 1.2.2 Closing the Operation Window)
You can set the camera to record a certain number of seconds before and after a sensor signal is detected. The detection method that you have set may not be sufficient for sensor detection recording depending on the resolution, image quality, the recording subject, and network environment. To ensure proper operation, test the sensor recording.
Sensor detection commands can be selected and executed. (→ Setting the sensor detection method)
If after-sensor detection recording and before-sensor detection recording overlap, a continuous image is recorded.
Example: You have set images to be recorded 5 seconds before and after sensor detection.
Detection notifications and images captured at detections can be sent to specified E-mail addresses. (→ 1.5.3 Setting E-mail notification)
Some of the alarm setting specifications for WV series network cameras and some BL series network cameras differ to other cameras. See 4.1.4 Alarm/Sensor Detection for more information.
