Auto Recording
Automatic recording can take 3 forms:
Regular – The default setting is 24 hours, non-stop recording after the DVR’s initial boot.
Detection – Allows automatic recording when the camera detects motion in a given area,
the camera is blinded or there is video signal loss.
Alarm – Allows the automatic recording when an external event triggers an alarm (e.g., a
door opening).
The setting of automatic recording conditions per channel is done via the
Record Config
screen.
Go to
Main Menu
, click the
Record
icon, then the
Record Config
icon and a screen similar to the
one below will be displayed.
a.
CHANNEL
– From the drop-down menu select the corresponding channel or select ALL if
the configuration is to be applied to all channels.
b.
REDUNDANCY
– If the DVR has two hard disk drives Redundancy allows the writing of
the video file to both drives. Click and highlight the Redundancy check box if desired.
NOTE: Using redundancy will double hard disk usage, essentially cutting recording time in half.
c.
LENGTH
– Using the mouse enter the duration of each video file. 60 minutes is the
default.
