Operation Instruction
Highlighting Recycle and pressing the
over the oldest video data once all available storage space has been used. When Recycle is turned off, the DVR stops
recording once all available storage space has been used.
Highlighting Use De-Interlace and pressing the
will turn the de-interlace filter on while recording video with Very High (D1) resolution.
NOTE: The video signal has a time difference of 1/60 second (1/50 second for PAL) between odd and even fields
because it is composed of 60 interlaced fields per second (50 fields for PAL). When recording video with
Very High (D1) resolution, video is made up of frame units combining two fields – one odd field and one
even field. This can cause horizontal scan lines or flashes in areas with motion because of the time
difference between the two fields. Turning on the de-interlace filter provides clearer video by eliminating
these horizontal scan lines and flashes.
Highlight the Event Record Dwell box and set the length of time you would like to record for the associated event.
You can set the dwell from 5 seconds to 15 minutes. Refer to Event Actions screen in this chapter for information
regarding event recording.
Highlight the slide bar beside Auto Deletion, and use the Left and Right arrow buttons or Up and Down arrow buttons
to adjust the length of time recorded data will be kept from 1 to 999 days. The DVR automatically deletes video recorded
earlier than the user-defined period under three conditions: at midnight, whenever the system reboots or whenever the
user changes the Auto Deletion settings. Selecting Never will disable the Auto Deletion function.
Highlight the slide bar beside Limit Time-Lapse Recording, and use the Left and Right arrow buttons to adjust the
length of the maximum storage time for time-lapse recording from 1 to 99 days. The Limit Time-Lapse Recording
feature will function when the storage device has enough space to record video data longer than the preset period. When
this feature is On, the DVR records over the oldest "time-lapse" video once all available storage has been used in the
Recycle mode, so more event video can be saved. Selecting Never will disable the Limit Time-Lapse Recording function.
NOTE: When the storage device does not have enough space to record video data longer than the preset Limit
Time-Lapse Recording period, the DVR records over the oldest video data (time-lapse or event video)
as it would in the Recycle mode even if this feature is turned On.
The maximum storage time is only an estimate because the amount of space required to store video varies
depending on many factors such as motion and image complexity.
CAUTION: When more than one disk is installed in the unit, the DVR records video on the disks
sequentially based on time. And these sequentially recorded videos have the advantage
that you can search recorded video easily even though a disk is removed from the unit.
However, video recorded in the same time range might be saved on different disks by
channel and by the type of recording mode. Once the Limit Time-Lapse Recording is set
to On, the DVR will maintain this recording limitation even after disabling the function.
If you want the DVR to record video on the disks sequentially based on time again, you
must format all disks that are currently used for recording.
