Q: How to setup event recording?

A:Please setup the Alarm Recording rates for the Cameras at different Time Types, the different Actions, and the enable/disable items for the Cameras and the Alarm Inputs. The alarm recording rates are also event-recording rates.

Q: How to black out the live images for the cameras?

A:To black out the live images for the cameras, login as Administrator and set those cameras as playback in the Sequence Mode display & Static Page Mode display. There are 7 static display pages and 2 display sequences. Later on, the Operator/Guest will not be able to see the live images for those cameras.

Q: There are no pre-recorded images for the camera?

A: There must be at least one Action corresponding to that camera, and the pre-record time of those Actions must be non-zero. Besides, the normal recording rate for that camera must be non-zero. (Exception: If the normal recording rates for all the installed cameras are all zero, the pre-record will still be effective.) Please refer to Chapter 6 for the detailed setup.

Q: The displayed date and time on the lower-left corner are not correct.

A:Please login as administrator, click on the displayed time, then the Date & Time Setup dialog box will be shown. Enter your local time, and then click on the OK button to update the system’s date & time.
