Enabling Database Overwrite

In the event that the DX8100 time is reset to a period earlier than the current time, the DX8100 allows you to do one of the following:

•Database Overwrite: Enabling this option causes the DX8100 to overwrite previously recorded data, coincide with the time at which the clock is turned back. For example, if at 2:00 p.m. (current time) you set back the DX8100 clock to 1:30 p.m. (an earlier time), the previously recorded data beginning at 1:30 p.m. is overwritten.

•Select not to enable Database Overwrite: If this option is not enabled, previously recorded data is not overwritten. For example, if at 2:00 p.m. (current time) you set back the DX8100 clock to 1:30 p.m. (an earlier time), the DX8100 does not record data between 1:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. In this case, any video events occurring during that half-hour time period are not recorded. Recording does not begin again until after the DX8100 clock exceeds 2:00 p.m.

To enable Database Overwrite:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click Setup. The Setup dialog opens to the Camera page.

2.In the Setup dialog box, click Network. The Network page is displayed.

3.Click the NTP tab. The NTP page is displayed.

4.Click the Database Overwrite check box to select the option.
