Operation
This chapter covers the following topics:
•Live monitoring
•Recording video
•Recording audio
•Playing recorded video
•Searching for video by date/time, calendar, and events
Note This chapter assumes you have correctly installed and configured your DVR. If you have not, please see Chapter 2 for installation and Chapter 3 for configuration.
The DVR controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and playing back video. You can:
•Establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week
•Search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs
Features of your DVR that are not available with traditional VCRs are:
•View video remotely
•Record video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video
The DVR operates even when no hard disk drives are installed. In this case, recording, playback, and any processes that access hard disk drives, are not supported. You can only view live video and establish system settings that are not related to hard disk drive operation. Also, the unit can be connected with RAS Watch either via Ethernet or modem.
