PRE-LOC

D POST-LOCK SECONDS 

 

Pre-Lock (in seconds) defines how many seconds you want to include 

in the event marked video file prior to the time that special event occurs.  
For instance if the Event Marker Button was hit at 12:00pm and the Pre-

Lock is entered as 60 then the event marked video file is generated to start at 11:59am exactly
or a minute prior to the 

“event time”.

 

 

Similarly, Post-Lock is the time that occurs after the

 “event time”.

 For instance a 60 

entered in Post-Lock will mark the file to stop at 12:01pm.  Therefore, you have a marked 
video file that starts from 11:59am until 12:01pm. 
The DVR400 System allows the end-user to set the Pre-Lock and Post-Lock up to 10 M

 

Numbers enter into these boxes are understood as seconds (not Minutes or Hrs)
