3. 2 Recording Setup

The DVR can record according to schedule set by the user. It can also record manually regardless of date and time. This is called Manual Recording.

The recording can be made either continuously or triggered by events (alarm and motion detection).

The recording rate and resolution can be adjusted for each recording defined in the Schedule or Manual Recording.

The DVR is set to record in Schedule mode from the factory with pre-defined schedule. Thus it is always recording.

To stop recording the DVR must be put into Manual Recording mode and recording turned off.
