at the end of the HDD, that recording may not be stored in
the alarm list and that item may be missed.
When the data of the camera number which is not
corresponded to the alarm sensor number is copied to the
external media, the alarm list of that data is not exactly
similar to that of listed in the digital recorder.
When the detection of the motion or the ground of the
ALARM IN terminal occurs numerously at the same time,
not all the start times of the alarm recording may be
registered in the alarm list. In this case, the sensor of the
lowest number is registered in the list.
In the alarm list, items with the ALARM IN terminal
grounded are indicated in orange, items that were detected
with motion are indicated in white, items with the
EMERGENCY terminal grounded are indicated in magenta,
and items that were input with alarm signal via
communication are indicated in green.
To clear the alarm list, erase the HDD data of which the
alarm recording is recorded (System Menu Data Clear).
Beware that executing it erases all the data of the HDD
contained the picture data.
Alarm list search is not performed if there are no index
signals.
When alarm recording (emergency recording) is started
while displaying the <Alarm List>, you must first exit the
<Alarm List> and then display it again. The new item is
added to the list. In this case, you may have to specify the
date and time to be searched again.
For alarm list search of LPA area, the list from the start
point of media is displayed when selecting “To latest,” and
the list from the end point of media is displayed when

• The button function changes between “All Off”
and “All On” each time you select this button. You
can switch on and off for all the cameras easily
by using this button.
• The picture is not copied when there is no
recorded picture of the set camera number or
time. Make sure to check that the picture of the
specified camera has been recorded on the
specified copy start point.
step2. Select “Other settings” and then set the detailed
settings.
From Device: Sets the device which contains the
data to be copied. The available setting items are
“Main” and “Copy 2.”
From Group: Sets the group which contains the data
to be copied. The available setting items are “Normal,”
“Alarm,” and “LPA” for main, “SerialBus,” “NAS,”
“SCSI,” “DVD/CD,” and “Internal” for copy 2.
To Copy 1: Sets the group to where the data is
copied. The available setting items are “SerialBus,”
“NAS,” “SCSI,” “DVD/CD,” and “USBmemory.”
Copy Data: Sets the data area to be copied. The
available setting items are “Alarm” and “All.”
Overwrite: Selects whether or not to overwrite the
existed data.
Auto Eject: Selects whether to eject media (CD/
DVD) automatically when the copy is over.
“Alarm” appears for “From Group” when “Alarm Recording
Area” (System Menu Memory Data Management
Setting for Main Memory Change Partition Setting) is set
to other than “0 %.”
“LPA” appears for “From Group” when “Long Pre-Alarm
Area” (System Menu Memory Data Management Setting
for Main Memory Change Partition Setting) is set to other
than “0 %.”
During copy 2 operation, data cannot be copied from copy
2 device to copy 1 device. Stop copy 2 operation first and
then copy the data to copy 1 device.
When copying the data to DVD while “Overwrite” is set to
“On,” the unit clears the existing data on the disc before
overwriting with new data. Note that clearing the data takes
about 30 to 40 minutes. You cannot cancel operation during
clearing the data of the DVD.
When copying the data while “Copy Data” is set to “Alarm,”
the unit performs copy operation, however, the data is not
copied if there is no alarm recording data within the
specified range of copy. In case of CD/DVD disc, the
remaining capacity becomes low because only the
management information is recorded. It is recommended
to carry out “Calculate” in <Copy Data to Copy 1 Drive> to
confirm whether or not there is alarm recording data in the
specified range.
step3. Set the start, start/end, or end point of copy by
specifying the date and time or the bookmark number.
Start: Sets only the start point of copy. The data is
copied from the specified start point as much data
as possible with the remaining capacity of the media
to be copied.
Start/End: Sets the start and end points of copy.
When the amount of data to be copied is larger than
the capacity of a single CD/DVD disc, copy all the
desired data to multiple CD/DVD discs according
to the direction from the recorder. In the case of
copying to a USB memory or HDD, only the amount
of data equal to the available free space on the copy
destination media is copied. It is recommended to
check whether all the desired data have been
copied properly after the copy is finished.
End: Sets only the end point of copy. The data is
copied as much data as possible with the remaining
capacity of the media to be copied until the specified
end point reaches.
• To set the bookmark point, select “Bookmark” and
then select the desired bookmark number.
• To copy from the oldest recording time, select
“Copy Start Time.” To copy to the latest recording
time, select “Copy End Time.”
step4. Select “Calculate” to calculate the capacity of data
to be copied.
When using “End,” the copy cannot be executed unless
the calculation of the capacity of data to be copied is
completed.
When using “Start” or “Start/End” and executing copy
without calculating the capacity of data to be copied, the
progress or the time of the copy may not be displayed
correctly because the unit cannot determine the capacity
of data to be copied.
In the case of copying to a USB memory or HDD, when
the amount of data to be copied is larger than the available
free space on the copy destination media, the estimated
copy data volume indicates the remaining capacity of the
copy destination media. It is recommended to check
whether all the desired data have been copied properly
after the copy is finished.
step5. Select “Execute.”
• The copy starts.
• To stop copy manually, select “Cancel” in the
progress screen. The data which has been copied
before cancelling is copied.
Copy Data to Copy 2 Drive/Set Copy 2 Drive
This item is used to copy the data to Copy 2 device by
specifying only the start point. The point is specified by the
date and time or the bookmark. The copy continues until the
