The unit will respond to alarms and activity detection in all modes.
About Events:
An Event is an action that the unit acknowledges by recording at the Event
Record Rate, yet it is not cause for an Alarm. Events may be created two ways, via RS232
text insertion and Activity detection.
Example of an Event:
A camera is pointed at the front door inside the lobby during
business hours. With the Event Camera Settings Type set to Event, the unit does not record
while the doorway is empty. When activity motion detection senses that someone is entering
or leaving the doorway, the unit begins recording at the Event Record Rate and stops
recording when the motion ceases.
RS232 Event:
See section 8 for information about generating an Event via RS232, and
optionally inserting ASCII text to mark the Event.
Activity Detection Event:
See Setup Parameters in section 3.13 for detailed information
about configuring activity detection as an event in the menu system.

Timelapse Record Rate
The unit records at the Timelapse Record Rate under normal conditions, when there are no alarms,
events, or activity present. Record rates are measured in both Pictures Per Second (pps) and Seconds
Per Picture (spp).
The maximum record rate per camera is inversely proportional to the number of cameras connected to
the unit. The fewer cameras connected, the higher the maximum record rate for each camera, and vice
versa. The maximum record rate for multiple cameras is 40pps. The maximum record rate for a single
camera is 25pps.
The bottom right corner of the menu contains a record duration calculator. The top line indicates the
estimated recording time for the unit in Time-lapse record mode only. The bottom line indicates the
estimated recording time, taking into consideration the amount of time the unit will spend in Activity,
Event, and/or Alarm record mode.
