Record Setup - Resolution, Quality, Audio, Record Time

In the Main Menu select RECORD to enter the Record Setup submenu (shown at left).

The Record Setup menu allows you set the recording status (on/off) of each channel, the image resolution and quality, and whether audio is on or off. This menu also allows you to select recording mode (recording as soon as the DVR has booted up vs. scheduled recording), and recording file length.

Once a channel is set to “on”, the channel can record, if it is set to “off”, the video from the channel will not be recorded. Resolution options are D1, HD1 and CIF; and Quality options are Best, Good and Normal

-lower quality means a smaller recorded file size.

Note: In NTSC format, pixel resolutions are:

D1:	704 x 480
HD1:	704 x 240
CIF:	352 x 240

When Audio is set to “On”, the system will also record audio from the microphone (sold separately) attached to the audio input, and will have audio output on playback mode; if it is set to “off”, you can not record audio and will have no audio output available on playback mode.
