4.1 Configuring Settings for Recording

There are multiple ways to setup your DVR for recording. They include setting up a recording schedule, triggering a

recording by motion detection and/or a sensor alarm, and manually starting the recording.

Before setting your DVR up for recording, certain settings should be configured first. These settings can be found in the

Recording Configuration menu, shown in Figure 19.

The first set of settings to configure in this menu is the recording quality settings. To configure the recording quality settings:

Enter the Recording Quality Settings menu by going to Main Menu > Recording Configuration > Recording Quality

Settings. The Recording Quality Settings menu is shown in Figure 20.

Select the camera to configure in the camera drop down menu on the upper left of the menu. If all cameras are to be

configured with the same settings, select All Cameras from the list.

Select the Encoding Parameters mode to configure. Either Continuous or On Event can be selected.

Select the camera resolution in the Resolution drop down menu The options for the camera resolution includes

4CIF,CIF and QCIF.

Select the recording Frame Rate to use for the designated camera. A rate of 25 all the way down to 1of a frame can be

selected.

Set the picture quality using the Picture Quality slider. A preview of the selected picture quality will be shown on the

right preview screen. Increasing the picture quality will also increase the bit rate of the video feed. The resolution and

frame rate of the feed will be adjusted automatically.

Select the Pre-record time. The pre-record time is the time in seconds to also record before a recording is triggered.

Setting the pre-record time to MAX will allow the DVR to use up to the maximum available buffer space for recording.
