Note • When [JPEG] is selected in [Video Format] and an upload error occurs, the frame rate of video recorded in JPEG format is 4 always 1 fps. • When a network error occurs during recording-mode stream, video is saved in the JPEG format regardless of the [Video Format] setting (the frame rate is fixed at 1 fps). Setting Page Memory Card Operations (unmount status) • Video size and quality of the recorded video are made according to the settings in the [Video] menu. (1) [Mount/Unmount] In unmount status, [Mount] will appear. Click [Mount] to mount the memory card. Note microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC memory cards can be used with the camera. When a memory card is inserted in the card slot, it is mounted automatically. It is also mounted automatically if inserted in the camera at the time of booting. For inserting and removing the memory card, see "Installation Guide" > "Using a Memory Card". (2) [Operation Settings] Set write operations to the memory card to [Save Log] or [Save Logs and Videos]. Note • The following settings and operations will record video on a memory card. - When a network error occurs during recording-mode stream - When uploading fails - When [Video Record Action] in the [Event] menu (p. 56) is set to [Record to Memory Card], and an event (volume detection, external device input or timer) setting is enabled and [Enable] is selected for [Video Record] - When video is recorded due to an intelligent function event occurrence (p. 77) - When manually recorded to memory card from the Admin Viewer (p. 140) • New files cannot be saved to the memory card if there is no free space. (3) [Video Format] Select the [JPEG] or [H.264(1)] video format to make recordings to a memory card. Video is recorded with the settings defined under [Video] > [H.264(1)] (p. 46). [H.264(2)] cannot be used. Video is recorded in this format when [Record to Memory Card] is selected in [Event] > [Video Record Action] (p. 56). (4) [Pre-event Buffer (number of frames)] / [Pre-event Buffer (sec)] Enter the number of frames or seconds of video to be buffered before the event. The maximum amount is number of frames for a [JPEG] selection and number of seconds for an [H.264(1)] selection in [Video Format]. (5) [Post-event Buffer (number of frames)] / [Post-event Buffer (sec)] Enter the number of frames or seconds of video to be buffered after the event. The maximum amount is number of frames for a [JPEG] selection and number of seconds for an [H.264(1)] selection in [Video Format]. (6) [Overwrite videos] Select [Enable] or [Disable] for the overwrite setting of video that is recorded to a memory card when an event occurs. If you select [Enable], videos recorded using an event and timer will be overwritten. Overwriting is performed when the number of recordings that can be stored (100,000 files) for each of events and timers is exceeded. Overwriting is not performed when there is insufficient space on the memory card. Important • When an H.264 video is saved to a memory card, the following restrictions apply to [H.264(1)] of [Video] (p. 46). - Only [Use bit rate control] can be selected for [Bit Rate Control]. - Only [3072] or less can be selected for [Target Bit Rate (kbps)]. - Only one of [0.5], [1], and [1.5] can be selected for [I Frame Interval (sec)]. • Since the [Pre-event Buffer] and [Post-event Buffer] set the maximum value, it may not be possible to record the specified number of frames or seconds of video depending on conditions. (7) [Format] Click [Exec] to format the memory card. Formatting erases all video and logs on the memory card. 69
