(door or intercom switch, etc.) during recording in a
time lapse mode, the recording speed is switched to
the 2- or 6-hour mode and the details of the state of
emergency are faithfully recorded.

Alarm recording can be automatically reset without

The reset time can be set for 30 sec, 1,0, 2.0, 3.0,
5.0 or 10 minutes.
Another option is alarm recording only while the alarm
input signal is supplied.
Alarm recording is also possible as far as the end
of the tape.
