4. Recording Overview

Before continuing with the Recording Overview please be sure to have reviewed DVR Menu Setup (Chapter 3), specifically the Camera & Schedule Menus. You are now ready to begin setting up the machine for recording. This chapter will show you how to setup the recorder for three basic types of recording: Instant recording, scheduled recording, and event recording. Instant recording (N) is simple; just press the Record button to start recording, much like pressing the record button on a VCR. Scheduled recording (1~8) is based upon a set time period of when to begin & end the recording. Event recording consists of an alarm, motion, or video loss triggering the DVR to record that event.

4.1 Instant (N) Recording Setup

REC

STOP

Press the Record key to start recording immediately.

When REC is pressed, the pictures being monitored will be recorded in the HDD.

The recording quality and recording speed can be set in the CAMERA SETUP MENU. To set the target camera for a particular recording speed (IPS) when using the instant record method, apply the changes to the last Time Period (TP) row labeled N.

A “R##” sign appears in the record status bar. The number following R signifies which HDD is being recorded to.

Press STOP key to stop instant recording.

The STOP key can only be used for instant recording mode. Schedule or event recording mode must be turned off in their respective menus.

When the HDD is full, the machine will stop recording automatically or overwrite from the beginning of the HDD, depending on the setting in the RECORD SETUP MENU.
