Starting And Stopping Recording; Recording - Panasonic AG-CPD15P Operating Instructions Manual

Starting and Stopping Recording

Recording

Recording Start Methods
• Press the [REC] button (the REC
buttons on the recorder, Color
Camera and Remote Control Panel
all operate the same way)
• Apply a Recording Trigger
• When power-on recording is
enabled, recording starts when the
recorder is turned on
• Programmed Recording
(see "Programmed recording" on
pages 28, 29)
The prerecord function (see "Prerecording
and postrecording" on pages 24, 25)
records video for a pre-specified period
prior to a recording-start trigger event
(or pressing the [REC] button). The
amount of the prerecord time is set from
the Remote Control Panel. You can use
this function to prerecord video without
audio. An audio prerecord time, as well
as an audio postrecord time, can be set
independently, although it cannot be
longer than the specified video prerecord/
postrecord time.
Recording Triggers
The following types of recording
triggers are available.
• When [Action] set for detection of
trigger signals (GPIO1 - 8) is "REC",
"CAM1REC" or "CAM2REC" and the
trigger signal is valid.
• Vehicle Speed Signal
Speed data detected by the recorder
serves as a recording trigger when
the specified speed is exceeded. This
signal is handled as an edge signal
to start recording, and is not used to
stop recording.
Select from the following detection
methods according to the intended
application or installation conditions.
Detection of own vehicle speed:
Uses the vehicle speed pulse
(see "Speedpulse" on page 84,
"Vehicle Speed Pulse Setting Table
(at 40 mph)" on pages 106, 107
and "Vehicle Speed Pulse Setting
Table (at 60 kph)" on pages 108,
109) or GPS
Target vehicle speed:
Uses a radar gun
Note:
To use the vehicle speed pulse,
GPS or radar gun as the recording
trigger, check with your supplier to
ensure that connections have been
made correctly, then specify the
source device (see "Radar/GPS" on
pages 83, 84, 85).
Notes:
• If both the vehicle speed pulse
and GPS are enabled, the vehicle
speed pulse has priority as the
recording trigger.
After the recording trigger is
detected by vehicle speed pulse or
GPS, if the vehicle is stopped or a
speed of 5 mph or 5 kph below the
set speed is detected, the recording
trigger can be used again.
• Recording is allowed only when
the [READY] lamp on the recorder
is lit. If pressing the [REC] button
or applying a recording trigger fails
to start recording, the [REC] lamps
on the recorder, Color Camera
and Remote Control Panel blink at
a high rate.
• The Remote Control Panel, the
Color Camera and this unit [REC]
lamps go on during recording.
