Note

The number of Maximum alarm images differs

depending on the Image size and Image quality settings

on the Camera setting page.

Check the Maximum alarm images setting and set so

that the total number of Pre-alarm images and Post-

alarm images does not exceed the Maximum alarm

images.

If you set both Pre-alarm images and Post-alarm images

to 0, only one image is recorded at the moment when an

alarm is detected.

TCP port No.

When you select TCP on the Mode menu, type the port
