VIDEO SEGMENT SIZES

You can limit the size of video files that are recorded to 10, 30 or 60 minutes. We 

recommend setting this option to 10 minutes, to minimize loss due to power loss, etc.

Highlight the option you want to use, and press ENTER to save.

OVERWRITE or LOOPING

When you SD card is full, the DVR has 2 options. It can OVERWRITE or erase older files 

to make room for new recordings. This is also known as LOOPING.

You can also turn OVERWRITE off. If OFF, the DVR will not be able to record until you 

erase some files, or insert a fresh SD card.

Highlight your choice and press ENTER to save.
