Setup
2 - 40 ADPRO FastTrace, Issue 5
2.3.4.1.2 Event (Recording Retention Time)
Range: more than the Normal Retention time (mentioned above) to 1000
Default: 60 days
Event Recording Retention Time sets the maximum number of days that the ADPRO FastTrace will attempt to store
images that have been recorded as a result of an (alarm) event. Once the Event time has expired, the disk space will
be reallocated for new images.
2.3.4.2 Operational Modes
The Operational Modes sub-menu is used to tailor the four (4) available operational modes. A particular ‘mode’ is
used to define the behaviour (parameters) for cameras, alarm inputs, control outputs and audio equipment connected
to the system. Once the behaviour has been configured, a particular mode can be selected to invoke the required
settings.
Use the Operational Modes menu to select the Mode number to be configured and the Mode Selection settings to
define how or when a particular mode is invoked.
Why are Operational Modes used?
Individual modes are available for the user who requires different operating conditions to apply under particular
circumstances. For example different modes of operation can be invoked at particular times during the day to cover
(say) business operating hours, or out of hours access. Once configured via the Camera Behaviour and Audio
Behaviour menus, a particular Mode can be enabled for use via the system’s clock or an external input.
Each mode can be tailored to define (for example) how an Alarm is triggered and what recording rate is used during
(say) Event or Pre-Alarm recording. This can be important when stored information is to be used as evidence.
Also the style of input triggering can be defined to allow more precise control over the circumstances of an Alarm
trigger (for example by using double knock triggering).
2.3.4.2.1 Operational Modes
Any previously entered mode names will appear next to an assigned number. To configure a new mode or change the
settings of a mode, highlight the Number and use the Configure button to open the Operational Mode Settings
dialogue box.
2.3.4.2.1.1 Recording Mode Name
Options: <name> Maximum 16 characters
Enter the name for this recording mode.
NOTE
Depending on the configuration of the system and the current recording rate at any one time,
images may be deleted (over-written) prior to the specified ‘Event’ retention time.
