Hybrid Digital Video Recorder
There are four modes of video recording:
Motion (Light Green) means video is recorded when motion is detected
Free Run (Dark Green) means video is continually recorded nonstop
Alarm (Red) means video is recorded when there is a triggering event
Off (White) means video is not recorded at this time
Caution should be taken when setting up a camera to record video in the Free Run recording mode. In
Free Run mode, video is continually recorded nonstop for the time you specified taking up valuable disk
space even if there is nothing to record except an empty hall or blank wall.
Customizing a recording schedule is quick and easy.
There are four scheduling tabs:
The Days and Cameras tabs are used to customize camera recording schedules.
You can use either or both tabs to customize the schedule.
The Events tab is used to enable or disable events for a particular time and day created on the Event
Linking screen.
The Audio tab is used to schedule when audio is recorded.
In the Days view you see each camera connected to the system, audio inputs, and events in the left
column and the hours of the day across the top row labeled 12 a.m. through 12 p.m. At the top of the
schedule you see the Day drop down box, which allows you to select the day of the week to schedule.
Cameras and Audios which have been disabled will be reflected on the Days Scheduling tab as a
lighter shade of blue or green.
