Auto Recording

Automatic recording can take 3 forms:
 Regular – The default setting is 24 hours, non-stop recording after the DVR's initial boot.
 Detection – Allows automatic recording when the camera detects motion in a given area,
the camera is blinded or there is video signal loss.
 Alarm – Allows the automatic recording when an external event triggers an alarm (e.g., a
door opening).
The setting of automatic recording conditions per channel is done via the Record Config screen.
Go to Main Menu, click the Record icon, then the Record Config icon and a screen similar to the
one below will be displayed.
a. CHANNEL – From the drop-down menu select the corresponding channel or select ALL if
the configuration is to be applied to all channels.
b. REDUNDANCY – If the DVR has two hard disk drives Redundancy allows the writing of
the video file to both drives. Click and highlight the Redundancy check box if desired.
