Pre-record

triggered the recording at 10:00, if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the camera records it at 9:59:55.

triggered the recording ends at 11:00, if you set the post-record time as 5 seconds, it records till 11:00:05.

Expired Time
: The expired time is the longest time a recording is kept on the HDD. If the deadline is reached, the file
