Recording Video
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2 — Installation, it is
ready to record. Unless you change the setup, the DVR will start recording when you press the
button and will continue recording until the hard disk drive is full. The factory default is
REC
Stop when the hard disk drive is full. The DVR can be set to continue recording (Overwrite)
once the hard disk drive is full. It does this by recording over the oldest video.
Although you will be able to record without changing the unit from its original factory settings,
you will want to take advantages of the DVR's many tools. See Chapter 3 — Configuration for
detailed descriptions of the recording mode options.

to record. The red REC on the display will light and a red dot appears on the monitor
when the clock reaches a scheduled recording time and the DVR starts recording video.
