Setting the Maximum Amount of Time-Lapse Video Storage

This feature is useful when you want to keep recorded time-lapse video for a different length of time than you want to keep recorded Event video. The time-lapse video is stored separately from the Event video.

When Keep the continuous pictures is set to On, you can set the storage amount from 1 hour up to 490 hours depending on the hard drive capacity limits. When the DVR time-lapse recording duration reaches the time limit specified in the Keep the continuous pictures field, the DVR starts recording over the oldest recorded time-lapse video. For example, if you turn on Keep the continuous pictures and set the storage capacity to 40 hours, then the DVR will record 40 hours of time-lapse video before overwriting it. The remaining space on the hard disk drive is allocated to Event recording.
