Chapter 8. Scheduling and Recording Video

When Events Occur in Multiple Channels Simultaneously

If events occur simultaneously in multiple channels and the Event settings exceeds the DVR's maximum recording performance:

the Normal settings value is retained and

the channels with events drop their Event frame rates settings to record the events.

However, the SVR-1670 provides D1 30 compressed frames for all channels; it can record programs at a manually selected resolution and frame rate at all times.

8. 7 Setting Up To Record

You set up recording—either Manual or Schedule—from the Record Setup tab of the OSD.

Recording allows you to choose a program to record. The resolution, frame rate, and quality will vary depending on program you select.
