Scheduling a Record Mode

The DX8100 allows you to schedule a camera for multiple event recording. In this case, pre-event (motion, alarm, or ATM/POS) recording is set at the frame rate of the active record mode when the alarm, motion, or ATM/POS event occurred. For example, if the DX8100 HVR is recording at

1 ips in the Normal record mode when an alarm event occurs, video is recorded at 1 ips during the pre-event time period. After the pre-event time period expires, the recording rate switches to the frame rate configured for the event.

To schedule a record mode for one or more channels:

1.From the DX8100 toolbar, click the Setup button . The Setup dialog box opens to the Camera page.

2.Click the Schedule button . The Schedule page is displayed.

3.Click the check box for the record mode you want to apply to a channel.
