RECORDING IMAGES

Images that are being monitored can be recorded onto the hard disk inside the DVR. There are three recording modes that are available: “Normal recording” involves using manual operations to record live images that are being monitored; “Timer recording” lets you specify a time for recording to take place automatically; and “Alarm recording” automatically starts recording when an alarm such as an intruder is detected.

Images are recorded for DVRs as a single unit, and specifying individual channels for recording is not possible. If 4 channel of a DVR are connected, the images from all four cameras will be recorded at the same time.

Normal Recording (User Level: ID3 or higher)

You can specify a DVR and then click the recording button to immediately start recording the live images that are currently being monitored.
