SETTING UP THE CAMERA RECORDING MODE

The DX8100 allows you to schedule each camera to record in a single or multiple-event mode across a 24-hour timeline. Users with Power User access or higher can schedule video recording for one or more cameras. Use the Record Mode section near the bottom of the Schedule page to configure the recording mode for each camera.

This section describes how to schedule a recording mode and includes the following topics:

•Scheduling a Record Mode

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 DVR 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.
