Q

How many times can I make post alarm recording?

A


Basically, you can make post alarm recording once an alarm on the DSR-C100 original firmware. We consider that it is uncommon to record images on the same HDD continuously in case the event (alarm) should happen. But considering the miss-operation, it is possible to make 2nd post alarm recording if the remaining capacity is more than 5 minutes.

We have changed the specification from the firmware FAT32 version to assign the post alarm storage area more than 5 minutes.

Q

Can I use the data of HDD removed from DRC on popular PC?

A


Yes, you can remove the HDD from DRC. But you can not use the HDD of DRC as it is, because DRC's firmware incorporates unique FAT originally. It requires renewing the firmware to FAT32 to use HDD removed from DRC.

We have already developed the firmware FAT32 version, "SX19N76****.bin".

* System requirements : Windows98 Second Edition or later

*notice: Please take notice that all of the data is deleted when you initialize and renew the firmware of the HDD.
