5.3 Backup the TV Programs in a Set-Top
Box PVR
Even though some digital or satellite set-top boxes have a personal video
recorder (PVR) functionality and supports pre-scheduled recordings, the
recorded files typically cannot be played back on other video players or PCs. The
AnyHD Recorder can back up all the recorded TV programs to a portable USB
storage device, which can be viewed at anytime from other players that support
the video file types. With this feature, you can free up space in the original STB
for other programs. Please refer to the user manual of your STB about the
scheduled recording timer and playback functions. The backup procedures are
almost the same as the procedures in sections 5.1 and 5.2. Playback the
recorded files one by one and record them onto an external USB HDD using the
one-button recording function or scheduled recording timer function.
5.4 Recording for Surveillance
The AnyHD Recorder supports extended recording for surveillance applications:
(1) Connect the surveillance multiplexer output or the HD camera to the
AnyHD Recorder and then connect the output of the AnyHD Recorder to
the surveillance monitor or HDTV
(2) Setup each recording session’s duration through scheduled recording
timer
(3) Select the timer mode for “daily” in the OSD Menu>>Timer
Programming>>Timer Edit, if you would like to record at regular daily
time slots. For a full day, set the start recording time at 00:00:00 and the
end recording time for23:59:59.
(4) Go to the OSD Menu>>System Setup>>Audio/video Setup and turn on
the Loop Recording mode, which instructs the system, upon reaching
full capacity on storage, to make room for new surveillance video by
deleting older files. Otherwise, the system stops recording when the
storage device is full.
