8.4 Recording video
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in the Installation Manual,
it is ready to record. The DVR will start recording based on the settings you made in
the
Record setup screen. See Section 7: Configuration.
"Recycle On" or "Recycle Off". The factory default is "Recycle On". It does this by
recording over the oldest video once the hard disk is full. Setting the DVR to
"Recycle Off" causes it to stop recording once the hard disk is full.
"Standard" (CIF), "High" (Half D1) or “Very High” (D1). The factory default resolution
is "Standard". When set to "Standard", the DVR has a maximum recording speed of
100 ips (120 ips for NTSC) resolution. When set to "High", the DVR has a maximum
recording speed of 50 ips (60 ips for NTSC). When set to "Very High", the DVR has
a maximum recording speed of 25 ips (30 ips for NTSC).
Pressing the Panic button starts panic recording of all cameras, and pressing the
button again stops panic recording. If you set the Panic Recording Duration in the
Record Screen, panic recording will stop automatically according to the preset
duration as long as the Panic button is not pressed.
NOTE
When the DVR is not in the Recycle mode and all available storage space has been used, panic
recording will not operate.
Although you will be able to record without changing the unit from its original factory
settings, you will want to take advantages of the DVR’s many tools. See Section 7:
Configuration for detailed descriptions of the recording mode options.

If the DVR was set up to record audio, it will record audio from up to four inputs
when video is recording. The DVR will not record audio when the recording speed is
set to less than 1 ips.
