The Timer Backup function allows you to set the system to automatically back up the data that is recorded on the HDD to a video tape while you are away from the system. You can set the system to back up the desired type of event on the desired day of the week and time at the desired sampling rate. First set TIMER ARCHIVE to ON. Next, select all event types you want to back up by setting them to [O]. For example, a backup will not be performed, even if an alarm event occurs during the set time, unless ALARM EVENT is set to [O]. Set ARCHIVE SCHEDULE by selecting one from the following: SUN, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, MON-FRI, MON-SAT, and DAILY. Enter the backup start and end times into FROM and TO fields respectively. Finally, set the picture sampling rate to the desired value between 1/1 to 1/16.

To cancel the TIMER ARCHIVE you have set, press the STOP( ) button for 3 seconds. The TIMER ARCHIVE will pause for 5 seconds. However, if you do not make any action for 5 seconds, the system will reset to the Timer Archive after 5 seconds have elapsed. To completely cancel the TIMER ARCHIVE, enter the menu within 5 seconds and set the TIMER ARCHIVE to OFF.

Because TIMER ARCHIVE is an automatic backup for the data that will be recorded, any data that has already been recorded will not be backed up. The following illustrates the timeline of TIMER ARCHIVE.

Current Time

Date being archived

The TIMER ARCHIVE time is a future time, rather than the current time. If the time you set is earlier than the current time, it is tomorrow's time or a time in the next week. In the above illustration, the TIMER ARCHIVE time is set and there are 3 record events. The first event overlaps with the TIMER ARCHIVE start time. In this case, archiving will start at the start time of the record event that is overlapping. Archiving will start as an event ends. The third event is overlapping with the end time of TIMER ARCHIVE. In this case, only the data between the event start time and archiving end time will be archived when the TIMER ARCHIVE set time ends, even if the record event is not finished.

Note

-If MULTIPLEXER in the SYSTEM SETUP menu of the DVR MAIN MENU is set to WITH, the MOTION event type will be disabled for SELECT EVENT of the TIMER ARCHIVE menu.
