4. Recording Overview
Before continuing with the Recording Overview please be sure to have reviewed DVR Menu Setup
(Chapter 3) specifically the camera & schedule. You are now ready to begin setting up the machine for
recording. This chapter will show you how to setup the recorder for three basic types of recording:
Instant recording, scheduled recording, and event recording. Instant recording (N) is simple as it
sounds its instantaneous, basically manually pressing the record button for recording, much like
pressing the record button on a VCR. Scheduled recording (1~8) is based upon a set time period of
when to begin & end the recording. Event recording would consist of an alarm, Vloss or motion
having taken place to trigger the DVR to record on that event.
