Figure 74 Pre ‐ Alarm Tab Selected
Pre-Alarm – This profile is used to specify the pre-recording type and duration in seconds when either
motion or alarm triggered recording occurs. You may specify dwell time (the recorded time allowed pre
motion/alarm event) allowed. As well as the type of event, e.g. motion or alarm. These settings will
override both “Event” and “Normal” record settings. The options for RESOLUTION, QUALITY, FPS,
COPY SETTINGS, DEFAULT, SAVE, AND CANCEL are the same as the NORMAL record settings.
However the two additional options for this menu are:
ITEM
1
Dwell Time
The DWELL TIME option is used to specify the post recording duration in second(s). This will
determine how long the recording will run for the specified channel after the PRE-ALARM is
triggered.
ITEM
2
Type
The TYPE option is used to specify which pre-alarm trigger to use, e.g. MOTION OR ALARM.
Figure 75 Panic Tab Selected
Panic –
This profile is used to specify the recording type when the “Panic” record button is engaged. The “panic”
record button is located on the front panel of the DVR, as well as on the “Live Pop-Up Menu” (accessed by right
clicking the live view screen with the mouse). The “panic” record settings will override both “Event” and “Normal”
record settings. The “Pre-Alarm” settings will not be affected because these settings are used for the “pre-event”
recording only. The options for RESOLUTION, QUALITY, FPS, COPY SETTINGS, DEFAULT, SAVE AND
CANCEL are the same as the NORMAL record settings.
The record schedule menu is used to configure specific date and times for the DVR to record. You may
use multiple schedule configurations in this menu to meet the demands of your recording needs.
Individual channels may be configured.
