6.4 Alarm Recording

Alarm recording is not started by manually pressing the Record button, it is automatically activated once Schedule mode is enabled. Alarm recording can be activated by alarm input signal or motion, if the connection of alarm input equipment is correct, stable and reliable, and the alarm settings are correct. For recording to be activated by exterior input signal or motion detection the system must be set to Schedule Mode active and that period is set to “A” in Record Schedule setup. You must also set the menu of Alarm Setup for exterior input alarm, and the alarm enable setting of that channel must be set to “ON”. For Motion Alarm, the motion enable setting of that channel must set “ON”, and set the area for motion detection must be set. If Schedule mode is disabled the system will not start recording on alarm. Setting schedule on or off is achieved through pressing the SCHEDULE button on the front panel or remote, but not through the System Setup menu and window. When the unit is in Schedule Mode active, the character “S” will display on the screen. Alarm video recording can’t be stopped by pressing the RECORD or STOP button while Schedule Mode is active. To ensure that once Schedule Mode is set to on that the schedule cannot be accidentally stopped there is a password protection to stop Schedule Mode. You must press the SCHEDULE button then enter the correct password to turn Schedule Mode off. Check Alarm Recording setup before recording; confirm the video quality and the frame rate, as the record setting can’t be changed during the recording process. As long as the alarm input signal is correctly set the alarm recording will continue during the period of time set up by A/M REC TIME, and when the outside the time period the alarm recording automatically stops.

6.5 Time Recording

Time recording starts and stops recording automatically according to the pre-arranged time period. It is applied to a fixed timetable, for example business hours time recording (or outside business hours time recording) with fixed start/stop time. To start the Time Recording function you must have a record schedule setup beforehand. When this is done, press the SCHEDULE button on the front panel to set schedule mode to on and the schedule symbol “S” will display on the screen. The Time Recording mode will not work unless you activate Schedule Mode. To make Time Recording mode active the system must be set to Schedule Mode active and that period is set to “T” in Record Schedule setup. In Time Record mode, you must press the SCHEDULE button then enter the password to stop time recording. Because Time recording is reliant on the system being set with the correct time, you must adjust the time to your correct local time before using this function.
