"Standard", the DVR has a maximum recording speed of 200 ips for PAL resolution

of 100 ips for PAL (120 ips for NTSC).

When the DVR is not in the Recycle mode and all available storage space has been used, panic
recording will not operate.
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
Section 8: Configuration for detailed descriptions of the recording mode options.
