Detailed Descriptions of Commands
REC PRESET (DAH+99H)
Sets the requirements for the Recording modes.
Parameter bytes to follow to specify the requirements
are the same format of those of the return data for REC
PRESET SENSE (DAH+C9H).
The time mode and recording cycle cannot be set in
combination. If both are specified, the time mode
setting has priority, and the recording cycle setting is
ignored.

Example: To set the number of cameras to 16, the
tape length to 270 minutes, the image quality mode to
HIGH and the time mode to 123 hours for Recording
mode 1:
First byte
Bits 2 to 0: Specify the Recording mode number.
Second and third bytes
Specify the tape length in units of minutes in BCD.
Fourth and fifth bytes
Each bit specifies whether to record the corresponding
camera input.
0: Not to record
1: Record
Sixth byte
Specifies the image quality mode.
001: SUPER
010: HIGH
011: MID
100: LOW
111: No change
Seventh and eighth bytes
Specify the time mode in units of hours in BCD.
When the time mode is not to be specified, pad both
bytes with FFH.
Ninth and tenth bytes
Specify the recording cycle in units of 0.01 second by
a BCD code.
When the cycle is not to be specified, pad both bytes
with FFH.
ALARM PRESET (0AH+9AH)
Specifies the requirements for alarm recording.
The parameters to be set depend on the mode of alarm
recording.

Normal mode: The pre-alarm time setting (bytes 5
and 6) is ignored.
Interleave mode: The pre-alarm time setting (bytes 5
and 6) is ignored.
Event mode: The pre-alarm time setting (bytes 5 and
6) is ignored.
Frame mode: The settings of the condition for
canceling the alarm recording (bytes 2 and 3) and
the pre-alarm time (bytes 5 and 6) are ignored.
Example: To switch to Recording mode 2 upon an
alarm input and return to normal recording in 30
seconds:
First byte
Bits 2 to 0: Specify the mode for alarm recording.
000: Normal mode.
001: Interleave mode
010: Event mode
011: Pre-alarm mode
100: Frame mode
