What camera settings should be prepared in advance of a scheduled power outage due to equipment inspections?

  • Network Cameras
  • Installation/Configuration

If SD recording is enabled, please stop the recording and turn off the power.

[How to stop recording]

  • For schedule/alarm SD memory recording, set the setting schedule operation mode to "OFF".
  • For manual SD memory recording, "Rec. on SD” in the Camera control section of the live image screen and then "Stop".
  • To check the recording status, make sure that “SD recording status indicator” in the upper right corner of the live image is off.

[How to turn off the power]

  • Depending on the power supply method, unplug the PoE, PoE+, or PoE++ power outlet, or remove the power outlet and power cord of the external power supply (DC12V or AC24V or commercial power voltage).
  • After power is restored, please set the SD memory to start recording (the opposite of how you stopped it). Recording will not start automatically.

For details, please refer to the instruction manual for each camera.
