PART 6 - SETTING DVR TO RECORD
There are two modes for recording: Manual Recording and Scheduled Recording.

MANUAL RECORDING

You can get to the Manual Record menu by right
clicking on the screen with the mouse and se-
lecting Record.
This will take you to the Record menu. You can
click the All option on the Manual row to start
recording on all channels, or you can select only
the cameras that you want to begin recording.
To stop recording, select the Stop option under
each camera to cause that camera to cease re-
cording, or you can selecting the All option in the
Stop row to cause all cameras to stop.

SCHEDULED RECORDING

To record on a schedule you will need to get to the Record menu as described above and select the
cameras on the Schedule row instead of the Manual row.
Next, go to the Main Menu, and click on Settings, and select Schedule. This will open the Sched-
ule menu.
The DVR is programmed with all cameras set to record constantly by default. You may set up your
own schedule to meet your specific requirements.
There are six blocks of time you can use to
schedule recording and each camera can be
individually configured or they all may share the
same schedule. In addition, you may set up indi-
vidual schedules for each day, or you may share
the same schedule across every day.
Cameras may be scheduled to record in different
modes at different times of the day.
