Chapter 1 Overview 1-3
Flexibility in Alarm Recording modes
To capture more and even sharper images, the HSR-1/
1P/2/2P not only changes its recording mode to the
higher refresh and higher picture quality mode on
alarm, but also performs interleaved recording, which
accelerates the recording cycle of the camera in alarm
status.
It can also record images from the camera in alarm
status only for a preset duration. In addition, since
alarm and timer recordings can be combined, the HSR-
1/1P/2/2P can be set to normal recording mode during
office hours and set to alarm recording at night.
Continuous recording function
The recorder can continuously record images, even
while you are changing or rewinding the tape, so you
don’t have to worry about the breakup of a recording.
Sophisticated security function
The key-lock function may prevent accidents, such as
inadvertent break-off of important recording.
For higher security, you can specify passwords at three
levels.
Watermark
Using an original watermark system, the HSR-1/1P/2/
2P can identify image data that has been artificially
altered. When alteration is detected, a message is
displayed on screen.
Intelligent search functions
Time search/alarm search
You can easily locate the picture from a specific date
and time.
With a tape on which alarm recordings have been
made, you can locate a specific picture after checking
the list of those recordings.
Variable-speed search with a Jog/Shuttle dial
By connecting the optional SVRM-100A remote
control unit, noiseless picture search can be carried out
using its Jog/Shuttle dial.
Rec End search
The recording end point on a tape can be easily
located.
Quick recording start
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P can start recording the moment
power is turned on. This allows immediate recovery
of recording after a power failure.
Pre-alarm recording
Thanks to the Pre-alarm recording capability,
recording can be started before catching a trigger
signal, thus chances are you’ll have the information
you need on tape
High-quality frame recording
By selecting Frame Rec mode, you can record a single
frame in response to an alarm in Hyper mode, which
provides higher resolution than Super mode.
Power-failure backup function
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is equipped with a protection
circuit (memory-backup circuit with a rechargeable
battery) to prevent loss of video data caused by power
failure.
If the power fails during recording, the protection
circuit activates, and stores video data for 24 hours.
When power is restored, the unit automatically
resumes recording mode and records the stored video
data on the tape.
Notes
• At least 24 hours with the power on is required to
fully charge the battery.
• Several frames captured immediately before the
power failure may be lost.
