Pre-record time 

The pre-record time is set to start recording before the event. For example, if an 
alarm triggers recording at 10:00, and the pre-record time is set as 5 seconds, 
the camera starts to record the event at 9:59:55. The pre-record time can be 
configured as “No Pre-record”, 5 s, 10 s, 15 s, 20 s, 25 s, 30 s, or “Not limited”. 

Post- record time 

The post-record time is set to stop recording after the event. For example, if an 
alarm triggered recording ends at 11:00, and the post-record time is set as 5 
seconds, the camera records until 11:00:05. The post-record time can be 
configured as 5 s, 10 s, 30 s, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, or 10 min.
