Recording; Continuous Recording; Event Recording - Digimerge DH230 Series Instruction Manual

RECORDING

By default, the system is set to immediately record at startup from connected cameras. This is
called continuous recording. It is highly recommended to keep continuous recording on at all
times.
The system can perform Continuous Recording, Event Recording, and Schedule Recording.
However, the system can only perform one type of recording at a given time.

Continuous Recording

By default, all camera channels are enabled with continuous recording. During Continuous
Recording, the REC icon appears in the top left corner of the OSD.

Event Recording

The system includes three modes of event recording:
• Motion: The system only records when motion is detected by the affected camera
• Alarm: The system records when an alarm or sensor is triggered
• Video Loss: The system records when a camera is disconnected or suffers video loss. The
system employs a pre-record function to capture video seconds before the video loss occurred
You can customize the recording parameters (video quality, frames-per-second) of Event Recording in the
Record menu. See "RECORD" on page 41.
