Recording Video

Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2, Installation, it is ready to record. The DVR will start recording based on the settings you made in the Record setup screen (see Chapter 3, Configuration).

Recording can be set to Recycle On or Recycle Off. The factory default is Recycle On, which means the DVR records over the oldest video once the hard disk is full. Setting the DVR to Recycle Off causes it to stop recording once the hard disk is full.

Resolution can be set to Standard or High. The factory default resolution is Standard. When set to Standard, the DVR has a maximum recording speed of 240 ips. When set to High, the DVR has a maximum recording speed of 120 ips.

Note When the DVR is in the search mode, the maximum recording speed decreases by half. For example, in search mode, the DVR’s maximum recording speed decreases to 120 ips when set to Standard resolution.
