Overview of Recording

Types of Recording

The HSR-X216/X209P/X216P records video and
audio (1 channel) in normal recording, alarm
recording, or timer recording.
Normal recording
Initiated by pressing the z REC button, video and
audio are recorded in the normal recording area of the
built-in hard disk.
Alarm recording
Initiated by a trigger, such as an external signal or the
internal sensor, video and audio are recorded in the
alarm recording area of the built-in hard disk.
It is also possible to record tracing the specified time
back from a trigger (Pre-alarm recording).
Timer recording
Recording is made during the specified period(s).
Video and audio are recorded in the normal recording
area of the built-in hard disk.
Data recorded by normal recording, alarm recording,
or timer recording can be stored in the archive area
assigned independently from the normal and alarm
recording areas with a copy operation.
For details on operations, see "Data Storage" on page
42(GB).
Note
Though it is rare case, but it includes the possibility of
image loss.

Areas for Recording

The built-in hard disk is partitioned into the normal
recording area, alarm recording area, and archive area
for data storage.
The default is 80% assigned to the normal recording
area and 19% assigned to the alarm recording area
with the remaining 1% assigned to the archive area.
You may change these percentages using
1. RECORDING AREA SET of the main menu
2. RECORD SET.
For the normal recording area and alarm recording
area, the submenu 2. RECORDING CONDITIONS
SET of the main menu 2. RECORD SET permits you
to choose whether to stop recording or overwrite when
each area becomes full.
The data in each area can be erased with a reset
operation.
For details, see "Recording Area Settings" on page 63(GB).
Cameras to be Used for
Recording

(P-1 to P-4). Select the main menu 2. RECORD SET,
