SV-HVR2800 Series DVR User Manual
Pack Duration: Pack Duration is a measurement of how long the DVR will record for
before splitting the output file into discrete units. "Packs" are something like the scene
numbers on a DVD - though the video is broken up into separate units, it will still play
through as one continuous movie (unless interrupted by the schedule or motion
detection turning the recording on or off ). If you don't want to worry about setting Pack
Durations, you can leave it on the default value; it will make little difference to the
day-to-day running of the DVR.

4.3 Schedule

The schedule presented on-screen applies to one channel only. Use the Copy To
functions to quickly assign identical schedule layouts to multiple channels at once.
There are four types of recording to
choose from:
Normal: The DVR will constantly record
for any period where Normal is selected.
You won't miss anything, but constant
recording will fill your hard drive very
quickly. (The DVR does record the
equivalent of a DVD film every two hours
on every channel, so that's rather a lot of data!) Typically, we suggest Motion as a
better recording mode for most users.
Motion: The recommended recording setting for most applications. The DVR will only
record when it detects something moving in front of a camera, and will then only record
footage from the camera(s) that do detect motion unless you alter your Action settings
"Alarm: Motion Detection - Action" on page 36 to include other channels.
Before setting any of your schedule to Motion, ensure that Motion Detection is properly
configured for the channel(s) you want to associate with it. See "Alarm: Motion" for more
information about setting up and configuring Motion Detection.
Alarm: The DVR will only record when it detects event from the sensor input port if user
choose this recording type. Before setting any of your schedule to Alarm, ensure Alarm
is properly configured. See "Alarm: Sensor" for more information about setting up and
configuring alarm.
M/A: The DVR will record when it detect motion detection or alarm event.
