3 GENERAL DVR OPERATIONS
This chapter introduces the operations of major functions such as playback, layout changes, sequence, triplex operations,
copy, and search.
3.1 RECORD
By default, the DVR will start to record all channel feeds when it is switched on the first time. This will only change
after the following configuration actions:
1. The DVR will not record the feeds of any camera channels whose "Install" tabs (on their configuration pages) have
been unchecked. In addition, if an Installed camera's Record Mode has been set to "Event Only", the DVR will only
record that camera's feed if a pre-specified Event occurs. (Refer to the Camera Setting section in the "The
Configuration Submenu" chapter for more details.) THUS, to start/stop recording a channel's feed, simply
check/uncheck the "Install" tab on that camera's setup page (and make sure that the Record Mode is set to
"Normal+Event" if you want the camera to record continuously).
2. If a recording schedule or event is configured and activated (check the "Schedule Record" box on the Record &
Play > Record menu page to activate the schedule), the DVR will follow the recording settings of the schedule,
and only record if the schedule parameters have been met. Uncheck the "Schedule Record" box to return to
independent recording (i.e. Event Only or Normal+Event).
