Pelco Manual C690M-E (11/04)

RECORDING

There are four types of recordings:

•Scheduled Recording

This type is simply the days and times you wish to record. The configuration includes half- hour increments for every day of the week. The DVR can record all cameras continuously or can record selected cameras at selected times. For example, you can set up different camera schedules for weekdays and weekends, at nighttime and daytime.

•Motion Recording

You set up this type to record when motion is detected in selected camera views. When motion detection is triggered, a set of cameras can begin to record, go to a defined preset, or activate a relay. You can set sensitivity and motion area for each camera. You can also configure motion to be treated as a normal event or an alarm.

•Event Recording and Alarm Recording

These types can be triggered by a signal to the alarm panel located on the DVR’s rear panel. An event is a low-level alarm. You can define which cameras you want to record, go to a defined preset, or trigger a relay. Alarms take highest priority—all resources are devoted to executing the commands you set.
