Picture Recording Common Settings
"Max No. of Pictures to be Recorded"
Specifies the upper limit for the number of
pictures to be recorded. This value can be
from 1 to 10,000.
"Auto Deletion of Recorded Pictures"
Recorded pictures can automatically be
deleted on the specified time after the
specified number of days has passed.
"No. of days recorded pictures held"
Specifies how many days the recorded
picture data will be kept in a flash memory
card. The recorded data which exceeded the
days specified in "No. of days recorded
pictures held" is erased daily at the time
specified in "Recoreded picture delete time".
In this manner, picture recording function
does not keep data on a permanent basis, so
use FTP to transfer the data files or replace
the flash memory card when needed.
Picture files are placed in the /card /images
directory.
A Flash Memory card is required for
recording pictures.
Files created at yyyy/mm/dd/HH/MM/SS/CC
(CC = 1/100th sec. units) are placed in the
yyyymmdd/HHQQ (QQ = 15-min. units)
subdirectory under the name
"HHMMSSCC.jpg".
"Recorded picture delete time"
Sets the time at which picture files are deleted.
"Recording Priority"
When there is a conflict between the timing of recording
specified in a schedule and "Recording between ON
event and OFF event", this setting specifies which
recording takes priority. Tick "Recording triggered by
external device" or "Recording triggered by schedule".
The factory default setting gives priority to "Recording
triggered by external device" .
Picture Recording and External Device I/O Settings Page
Use this page to specify the operating condition for the picture recording function. Settings on this
page can be used to record still pictures in response to inputs from an external device (sensor,
etc.) and based on a predetermined schedule (up to 10000 picures).

Note
Still pictures are recorded on a flash memory card (sold separately). Even if
the settings on this page are specified, the Picture Recording function does
not perform if there is no memory card in the VB101 slot.
The data size that can be recorded for a still picture is less than 32 KB. If
this amount is exceeded, the picture will not be recorded. The number of
pictures that can be recorded depends on flash memory card capacity,
however the maximum number of pictures that can be recorded is 10000.

Tip
The data size for a still picture varies depending on the settings for video capture
size and video quality ( P.43), and the subject. As a guide, approximately 5-10
KB is the standard when the video capture size is set to 320x240 and the video
quality is set to 30 (In some cases this may be exceeded). To check the amount of
data for a still picture, select "View" - "Video information" from the menu after you
start up the Helper Viewer, then check the "Size" value.
When recording pictures, it is convenient to do so in combination with
VBCollector, which automatically collects recorded still pictures. ( P.127)
