Overview of the menu system

The main menu consists of six menu groups:

History. The History menu allows you to trace all events that have occurred on the unit.

Disk manager. The Disk Manager menu provides information and functions that relate to the maintenance of the storage system including internal and external hard disks.

Time/Date. The Time/Date menu is used to set the actual reference time and date for the unit and the format that is used to display them.

View settings. The View Settings menu is used to program how the individual cameras are displayed on the monitors.

System settings. The System Settings menu is where most of the static parameters for the unit are set.

Profiles. The Profiles menu is used to set up and store the dynamic characteristics of the unit.

Setting the dynamic characteristics

The settings in the Profiles menu provide the opportunity to tap the powerful functionality of the unit. By spending some time in planning and setting up the six profiles available, you can provide efficient use of resources while maintaining effective cover for most types of working situations.

Profiles are usually based on a calendar, switching on and off at a particular date or time (for example, weekends or night). Profiles can also be switched by an input signal based on an external switch or armed alarm system.

A profile determines how a unit behaves when that profile is active. Unit behavior includes how events are handled. It also defines recording rates both under normal conditions and in response to input and motion events.

Unit behavior can be set up differently for each of the six profiles. Profiles can be named and copied to facilitate their setup and management.
