SECTION 7: DVR SYSTEM MENUS
7.3.7 Packtime
Record Pack Time is the time length of video segments saved during the backup of recorded video to an external device when alarm
recording is disabled. There are four options: 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, and 60 min.
7.3.8 Record Mode
Record mode includes two general categories:
ALWAYS
and
SCHEDULE
.
ALWAYS
: indicates that the DVR will record the channel selected continuously.
SCHEDULE
: This setup allows you to create a weekly schedule for recording. This assures that only selected events are
recorded on the HDD. For example, you may set up the system to record continuously during business hours, record at lunch
time only when an alarm is triggered, and record at night when motion is detected and/or an alarm is triggered.
NOTE
: Manual recording continues until stopped by the operator. It overrides all settings.
CHANNEL
: You can select all channels or just one channel. There are three modes for recording: ALARM, NORMAL and NO RECORD.
Different colors indicate different recording modes: Red indicates alarm record, green indicates normal record, gray indicates no
recording.
To set up weekly schedules, click on the box of the recording mode you want (
Alarm
,
Normal
or
No record
), then click each box
in the schedule time line that you want to apply the mode to. You can also left click and drag a frame over boxes in the schedule
time line that you want to apply the mode to. You can use the [FROM-TO] pull-down menus and COPY button settings to repeat
setting from one day to another day, or to all days.
After you setup the schedule, activate it by clicking the “check” button in the lower right corner of the window.
