Record Setup
1.OVERWRITE - Sets the Hard Drive to overwrite older data when full.
•ON: When the hard drive is full, the system will overwrite the earliest recorded video. If the DVR has two hard drives, the overwriting starts from the Master drive.
•OFF: The system stops recording when the hard drive is full. If the DVR has two hard drives, the system stops recording when the Master and Slave drive both are full.
2.MULTIPLEX - Set up the multiplex mode
•Duplex: allows the system to record and use remote connection simultaneously. The DVR stops recording while the DVR enters playback either locally or remotely. During the remote connection, the DVR keeps recording if the client stays at the LIVE mode. It stops recording when the client enters the playback mode.
•Triplex: record and playback simultaneously. The DVR keeps recording while the DVR enters playback either locally or remotely.
NOTE: The system is set to Triplex by default. To playback audio on the System, perform the following steps:
i. Turn the Audio Setting to ON
ii.Set the unit to DUPLEX MODE
iii.Playback the selected video.
3.QUALITY - Set up the recording picture quality to Normal, High or Best.
4.RESOLUTION - By lowering the resolution, the DVR gains the recording speed but the recorded pictures become smaller.
Changing the RESOLUTION will NOT change the recording time on DVR. To change the DVR's recording duration, please adjust the DVR's recording speed in the following three settings.
5.RECORD IN ALARM - Set the recording speed when an alarm is triggered.
6.RECORD IN MOTION - Set the recording speed when motion is detected.
7.CONTINUOUS RECORD - Set the recording speed under the continuous recording mode.
The recording speed is expressed in fractions. 1/ 1 is to record at the full recording speed, which you set in RESOLUTION. 1 / 2 is to record at half of the recording speed. 1 /3 is to record at one third of the recording speed. You can set up the parameter from 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4,… to 1/ 999.
By lowering the recording speed, the DVR records less frames but gains a longer recording duration. If you set the DVR's recording speed at 1/2, the recording duration will be two times longer. 1/3 will make the recording duration three times longer, and so on.
When the RESOLUTION is set to QUAD Mode, the selection of the recording speed is limited to 1/1, 1/2, and 1/3.
All active cameras share the recording speed. To turn off the recording on a specific channel, please refer to [SYSTEM MENU] ’[CONFIGURATION] ’[CAMERA
SETUP] “[CAMERA ACTIVE SETUP]. Please note that channels with video loss are still active and recording. In other words, those channels are still sharing the recording speed.
