Built-In Cal - EverFocus PARAGON 264x1 User Manual

The use of record overwrite is strongly recommended. If you do not use this feature, please be sure to make specific
arrangements to monitor/be notified when the disk is full.
Schedule Record: If this box is checked, the recording schedule set up in the Schedule Setting > Schedule menu page will
be active, and all other recording settings will be subject to this setting (i.e. the preset Schedule will OVERRIDE all other
recording settings). FOR INSTANCE: if a camera channel has been set up to do Event Only recording for say, Motion
Detection, in the Camera Setting menu, but the setting for that channel on the Schedule menu page is to do Normal
recording on a Monday, then that camera channel's recording will be overridden to Normal (continuous recording) on a
Monday. If the preset Schedule setting for that channel is No Record for Tuesdays, the channel will not be recorded on a
Tuesday, even if a Motion Detection event occurs on a Tuesday. If the Schedule Record box is unchecked, all recording
settings will return to those set up in the Camera Setting page.
Thus, the preset Schedule "record mode" settings will OVERRIDE the Camera Setting "record mode" settings while the
Schedule Record box is checked. The only way to stop the DVR from recording during a preconfigured schedule period, is
to turn Schedule Record off (uncheck the box).
Time Stamp: Select whether the time stamp (the time and date of the recording as displayed on the recorded footage)
should be displayed on the Bottom or Top of the screen. Select Off to disable the time stamp.
Record Status Relay Output: Selecting "NONE" would disable this function. Select either 1, 2, 3, or 4, depending on the
alarm relay port you want to assign to this function. The device connected to this relay port will be able to indicate when the
DVR is recording, and when it is not recording.
Auto Erase Video: The hard drive will automatically erase video after it has been on the hard drive for the selected number
of days. If you want to fill up the hard drive space, choose "OFF". (See Record Overwrite and notes above.) This feature is
useful if local rules and regulations require recorded video to be discarded after a specific number of days, or if you want to
limit the retention of older recorded video to clear space in anticipation of event recording.

5.3.2 Built-in Cal.

The built-in recording period calculator can give a rough
estimation of the number of days' worth of recordings that
can be stored on the hard drive/s, according to the current
settings. In order to compute as accurate an estimate as
possible, please enter your estimations for the hours per
day you expect recording to take place due to your
configured event and alarm triggers.
Motion: Enter the expected number of hours of recording
per day that will be triggered by motion-detection events.
Alarm: Enter the expected number of hours of recording per day that will be triggered by alarm triggers.
If the total of Motion and Alarm hours is more than 24 hours, the calculator will assume that motion and alarm recording take
place the whole day, and therefore the whole time.
Click on the "ESTIMATE" button to display the results at the bottom of the screen:
" xx days of data can be stored based on current setting"
