( Operating Instructions Configure the alarm settings [Alarm] - Configure the settings 
relating to the alarm action [Alarm] ) 
 
［Alarm deactivation time］ 
Configure the duration that detections won't be made after an alarm is detected. For example, by using this 
function you can prevent mail from being sent too often when mail notifications are c onfigured to be sent to 
cellular phones when an alarm is detected.  
5s ／10s ／30s ／1min／ 3min／ 5min／10min
 
Default: 5s  
Note 
・The duration that alarm detections are not made can be managed for each type of alarm. For example, 
during the time when detections for command alarms are not made, detections for VMD alarm can be 
made
.

34. Warning outputs, usage information, and error information display have 
been added for SD memory cards 
( Operating Instructions Configure the alarm settings [Alarm] - Configure the settings 
relating to the alarm output terminal [Alarm], Maintenance of the camera [Maintenance] - 
Check the status [Status] ) 
 
*Only the model corresponding to an SD memory card 
 
■Addition of SD memory card error outputs 
Warnings can output from the alarm output terminal if an error occurs for the SD memory card or if operations 
have reached a fixed state.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Alarm output terminal setup 
[SD memory card error] 
* Only for models that have alarm output terminals.  
Select On or Off to determine whether or not to  output signals from the alarm output terminal  when an error  is 
detected for the SD memory card.  
SD memory card  error condition:  SD memory card  error (write error, read error, etc ), 
                                t otal use time over 6 years, and number of overwrites over 2000 times  
On: When an  error  status is detected, the  signals from  an alarm output terminal is  outputted 
 and the “Alarm occurrence indication” button  on t he  “Live ” page blinks.  
Off: Deactivates the warning status detection.  
Default: Off  
In order to be able to configure " Alarm output terminal setup”, “Alarm output”  must be selected for  
[Terminal2] of the [Alarm] setting.  
 
 
 
 
 
Note 
・ The alarm output terminal and the SD memory card  errors use the same alarm output terminal.  
・ A signal is outputted to the alarm output terminal when either an alarm or SD memory card error  occurs.  
・ When  an SD memory card  error is detected, the  “Alarm occurrence indication” button  on the  “Live ” page  
  blinks. If you click on the  “Alarm occurrence indication” button, the  button will be hidden.   
* 4P alarm cable (accessory) example  
  ( Differs depending on the camera model )  
						

							 37 
・Output  signals from the alarm output terminal for [SD memory card error ] differ depending on 
  the settings of [Alarm output type].  
-  When  "Latch" is selected: Even after you click the "Alarm occurrence indication" button and  
  it disappears, 
output  signals from the alarm output terminal will continue as long as the cause of  
  the [SD memory card error] is not resolved.  
-  When "Pulse" is select ed: Even after you click the "Alarm occurrence indication" button and  
  it disappears, o
utput  signals from the alarm output terminal will continue as long as the cause of  
  the [SD memory card error] is not resolved. However, if the  time period specified for [Pulse width]  
  is exceeded, o
utput  signals from the alarm output terminal will be stopped.  
 
■Addition of SD memory card usage information/error information displays 
SD memory card information and usage status, and error information is displayed on the status window in the 
[Status] tab of the “Maintenance” page.

Displays the number of overwrite  times as calculated from the total capacity of the SD memory card, the 
number of times the camera has written files to the SD memory card, and the file sizes.
 
If the  number of overwrite times  cannot be calculated, “ Unknown” is displayed.  
  
						

							 38 
Note 
Because the overwrite time values are just estimates calculated by the camera, they may differ to the actual 
number of overwrite times.

IMPORTANT 
・  In order to be able to correctly use this func tion, format the SD memory card with the camera before using 
it. (When using  Ver.1.66 or later of the software. ) 
・   When using SD memory cards that have been used on other devices such as PCs, the correct 
information may not be able to be displayed.  
・   Up to 30  SD memory card logs can be saved to the built -in memory of the camera.  When the saved 
system logs have reached the maximum number, the newer logs will overwrite the older system logs.  
・   SD memory card logs are erased if the power of the camera is turned off.

36 Addition of “VBR” to the “Transmission priority” of “H.264” 
 ( Operating Instructions Configure the settings relating to images and audio [Image/Audio] 
- Configure the settings relating to H.264 images [JPEG/H.264] )  
[Transmission priority] 
Select a transmission priority for H.264 images from the following. 
• Constant bit rate: H.264 images will be transmitted with the bit rate selected for  “Max bit rate (per  client)  *”. 
•  VBR: H.264 images will be transmitted with the frame rate selected for  “Frame rate* ”  while maintaining the  
image quality level selected in  “Image quality ”. H.264 images will be transmitted with the bit rate kept within  
the maximum bit rate that is set for “Max bit rate (per client)* ”. The image quality is fixed, and the recording  
capacity changes according to the “Image quality ”  setting and conditions of the subject. When calculation  
of recording capacity is needed in advance, use “Advanced VBR ”. 
•  Frame rate: H.264 images will be transmitted with the frame rate selected for  “Frame rate* ”. 
•  Best effort: In accordance with the network bandwidth, H.264 images will be transmitted with the bit rate  
varying between the maximum and minimum bit rates that are set for “Max bit rate (per client)* ”. 
•  Advanced VBR: H.264 images will be transmitted with the frame rate selected for “Frame rate*”. Images are 
transmitted so that the average transmission rate during the period specified for “Control time period” 
becomes the bit rate selected for “Max bit rate (per client)*”.  
• Default: Frame rate  
Note 
•  When  “Frame rate”  or  “Advanced VBR ”  is selected for  “Transmission priority ”, number of users who  
can access the camera may be limited more  (may become less than 10) .
