DST DATE/TIME SEARCH

If the DX4500/DX4600 is configured for DST, the DVR uses a different approach to store and display video. When DST is set to OFF, the DVR’s internal time automatically adjusts backward one hour. Video is time-stamped and recorded one hour before and one hour after the time change. When DST is set to ON, the DVR’s internal time automatically adjusts forward one hour and the unit records normally.

The Date/Time search feature allows you to view video recorded before and after a DST time change (refer to Figure 115). For example, the DVR is configured for DST to end at 2:00 p.m. on November 4, 2007. The time period between column 01 and column 02 for channel 1 is partitioned into two sections: the upper section represents video recorded when DST is set to ON, the bottom section represents video recorded when DST is set to OFF.

When you initiate playback, the “Select data” dialog box prompts you to select a time period from which to display video: (“DST off” or “DST on”).
