INSTANT RECORDING AND PLAYBACK
The instant recording feature allows you to start a manual recording session immediately from the live view mode. Initiate the instant recording
mode for channels that are scheduled for normal, alarm, or motion recording. Instant recording is the highest p riority recording event.
Observe the following instant recording conditions:
• Instant (or normal) recording cannot start if the following conditions exist:
– Video loss is displayed for the channel.
– The Overwrite option is set to OFF and the hard disk normal partition storage space is full.
– The normal record mode is not available. If the event pa rtition is set to 100 percent, the normal record mode is disabled because hard
disk space for storing normal record video is not available.
• Recording is affected by the available storage and settings for each partition (folder).
–Normal partition: Video recorded in the instant and normal record mode is stored in the normal partition. If the normal folder is set
to 0(zero) percent (the event partition is 100 percent), the DVR will not record video in the instant or normal record mode.
