Sanyo VA-SW80LITE instruction manual Recording Images, Normal Recording User Level ID3 or higher

RECORDING IMAGES

Images that are being monitored can be recorded onto the hard disk inside the DVR. There are three recording modes that are available: “Normal recording” involves using manual operations to record live images that are being monitored; “Timer recording” lets you specify a time for recording to take place automatically; and “Alarm recording” automatically starts recording when an alarm such as an intruder is detected.

Images are recorded for DVRs as a single unit, and specifying individual channels for recording is not possible. If 4 channel of a DVR are connected, the images from all four cameras will be recorded at the same time.

■Normal Recording (User Level: ID3 or higher)

You can specify a DVR and then click the recording button to immediately start recording the live images that are currently being monitored.
