Recording

Record a video

To record a video, do the following:

  1. On the Mode selection menu, select Video.

  2. To start the recording, push the Record button.

  3. To stop the recording, push the Record button again. The recording is automatically saved.

Note

  • The camera can be configured to save video in *.mpg or *.csq format. Select Settings > Save options & storage > Video compression.

    • Mpeg (*.mpg): Mpeg recordings cannot be edited after the file has been saved.

    • Radiometric storage (*csq): An *.csq file supports full radiometry but is only supported by FLIR Systems software. The file does not include any visual image information. With this setting, it is not possible to record video in HSM mode. Also, only the image mode Thermal is supported. If any non-supported mode is active when Video recording mode is selected, the camera will auto-switch to Thermal image mode.

Periodic saving (time-lapse)

You can program the camera to save images periodically (time-lapse).

  1. On the Mode selection menu, select Time-lapse.

  2. On the main toolbar, select Time-lapse. This displays a dialog box.

  3. In the dialog box, you can set the save conditions:

    • Save interval: The time interval between each saved image.

    • Total number of images: The periodic saving will stop when the set number of images have been saved.

      Note

      If you select “∞,” the camera will keep on saving images until the memory card is full or until you manually stop the periodic saving.

  4. To close the dialog box, push the Back button.

  5. To start the periodic saving, push the Record button. The camera displays the progress on the screen.

  6. To manually stop the periodic saving, push the Record button again.

Multi-Rec

With the Multi-Rec feature, you can set up your preferred recording sequence in different image modes (IR, HSM, Digital camera) to use for documentation of a gas leak. While the recording is in progress, the camera follows the sequence setup and automatically changes the image modes. The recordings of the sequences are automatically saved to a single video file in the image archive.

Note

Multi-Rec video recordings are always saved in MPEG (*.mp4) format.

    2. Select the time period.
