DISK MANAGE
To manage the internal hard drives, highlight DISK MANAGE and press ENTER .
RECORD TIME LIMIT: In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to limit the amount of footage stored
on the VXM4 (to comply with data protection laws for example).
Recording can be limited to 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 1 week or one month. Once the VXM4 has
this amount of footage stored, it will start to overwrite the earliest recorded footage.
OVERWRITE: When set ON, the VXM4 will start overwriting the earliest recorded footage once the hard
drive becomes full. In this case, the percentage of hard drive used shown in live display will always be
99%. When set to OFF, the VXM4 will stop recording when the disk becomes full.
FORMAT: If necessary, all footage can be erased from the VXM4 using this option
Please note: When a RECORD
TIME LIMIT is set, the OVERWRITE
option cannot be changed
Please note: When RECORD TIME LIMIT is set, the percentage of HDD used shown in live
display mode may never reach 99%.
For example, if the total HDD capacity of the VXM4 allows for a recording time of 4 days
under normal operation, if the RECORD TIME LIMIT is set to 2 days, the percentage of HDD
used will never exceed 50%
To setup the recording behaviour of the VXM4, highlight RECORD MENU and press ENTER .
SCHEDULE MODE: Either DAILY (one schedule will apply to every day of the week) or WEEKLY (each
day of the week has its own schedule)
PRE EVENT RECORDING TIME: When the VXM4 is not in continuous recording mode, this setting
determines the amount of footage that is always recorded before an event occurs (motion detection,
alarm input etc.)
POST EVENT RECORDING TIME: When the VXM4 is not in continuous recording mode, this setting
determines the amount of footage that is always recorded after an event occurs (motion detection, alarm
input etc.)
This setup screen allows the operator to configure scheduled and motion detection recording. There are
2 sections:
PARAMETER: Recording settings for each channel can be defined across a 24 hour period, in blocks (for
example between 09:00 and 18:00) or for each individual hour. Note that when SCHEDULE MODE is set
to WEEKLY, each day of the week can also be selected
SCHEDULE: This section determines at what times the VXM4 will record and whether it is continuous
recording or motion detection.
