Pre-Event Recording Setup Screen
When the DVR is in the Event Record mode it is possible to have it record images before
the event occurs. Use the Pre-Event Record Setup screen (MENU ➤ Record ➤
Pre-Event Record) to define how to handle pre-event recording.
Figure 3-31 Pre-Event Recording Setup Screen
You can turn individual cameras On or Off for pre-event recording. You can set the
image speed from 0.5 to 30 ips NTSC (25 ips PAL), and image quality from High,
Standard, and Low.
Note The pre-event recording speed is 30 images per second (25 ips
for PAL) when the resolution is set to Standard in the Record
Mode Setup screen. However, when set to High or Very High,
the recording speed decreases to 15 images per second (12.5
ips for PAL).
You can set the amount of time to record prior to the event by adjusting the Dwell time.
You can set the Dwell time from 1 to 300 seconds.
Note When the DVR is in the Time-Lapse mode, it ignores the
pre-event settings and follows the time-lapse settings. In this
case, Pre-Event time will not be added to the Event clip.
