RECORDING
By default, the DVR5100 is configured to record video from all cameras, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for three individual schedules: continuous,
motion, and alarm. To optimize your storage capacity:
• Set up schedules to activate recording for specific cameras at certain dates and times.
• Set up a recording schedule that is activated when specific events occur. For example, you can create a recording based on alarms
related to a specific camera or motion detection on certain cameras. You can create a recording based on event groups through the
remote client.
NOTE: The motion schedule is not activated unless Activate Zone is selected in the Cameras > Motion screen. The alarm schedule is not
activated unless you have correctly configured the alarm inputs. By default, alarm input 1 is associated with camera 1; this association can be
changed on the Alarms tab.
You must configure event groups, alarms, or motion detection settings before you can include them in recording schedules (refer to Figure 48).
Event groups are set up through the remote client. For more information about setting up event groups, refer to the DVR5100 Remote Client
Operation manual (C1697M). Refer to TableX on page 73 for mor e information on recording settings and defaults.
