To set the pre recording time for motion detection alarm and external alarm recordings
Before you set the prerecording time you must first enable the TVR 40 to respond to a motion
detection alarm (see “Motion detection” on page 53) and/or an external alarm (see “External
alarm output” on page 82).
The TVR 40 is recording all the time at a defined rate. The prerecording time is the time before a
motion or external alarm is triggered and which is included in the alarm data. It is related to the
bit rate. The lower the selected bit rate, the longer the prerecording time can be.
1. In the Recording menu go to the
Pre Event Time
list box and select one of the time options
listed (Disabled, 30S, 25S, 20S, 15S, 10S, and 5S).
