If an alarm trigger is received while alarm recording is

register the alarm, but it will not be found during an
alarm scan and alarm search.
If there is a power failure during alarm recording, and
the power is restored within the recording set duration,
alarm recording will continue.
If the alarm recording duration is too short, the alarms
may not be found during an alarm scan or an alarm
search. If the alarms are going to be reviewed using
alarm scan or alarm search, 20-second or more
recording duration should be used.
To do alarm recording during series recording, set
“ALARM MODE” to “Y”. Alarm recording will be
conducted only if the VCR is recording.
