RECORDING THE VIDEO DISPLAY THROUGH COMPACTFLASH
Instead of recording video sequences onto your computer’s hard drive, you can choose to record them locally onto the NET350. For local recording
through the CompactFlash interface on the NET350’s front panel, you can use standard CompactFlash cards or miniature disk drives with a
capacity of up to one GB. Video sequences are recorded in MPEG format.
NOTE: Remember, once you click the Start button to activate time or alarm scheduling, you cannot make changes or view other partitions until
you stop the scheduler with the Stop button.
To record onto the NET350, you must first set up the unit for recording. To do so:
1. Click Media Recording on the Setup screen.
2. Storage can be allocated to more than one partition. If desired, click the Enter partition settings! button to access a screen that shows
information about existing partitions. You can also delete partitions or access a wizard to guide you through adding partitions. When you
finish, click the Back to HD Scheduler page! button.
3. If desired, click the Properties tab to access a screen where you can designate what properties you want associated with a partition.
Refer to the Configuration Pages for Media Recording and Configuration Page for Properties sections. Click Set when finished.
4. If desired, click the Time recording tab to access a screen where you can set the times you want recording to occur. Refer to the
Configuration Pages for Media Recording and Configuration Page for Time Recording sections.
Clicking a day button selects the entire row; clicking a time button selects an entire column. Clicking Select all picks all days and
times. Or select a specific day and time by holding and dragging the mouse button.
Deselect by right clicking the mouse button on the selection. Deselect all with the Clear button.
Click Set, and then Start when finished.
5. If desired, click the Alarm recording tab to access a screen where you can set the times you want alarm recording to be active. Refer to
the Configuration Pages for Media Recording and Configuration Page for Alarm Recording sections.
Selection and deselection work just as on the Time Recording screen described above. Click Set, and then Start when finished.
