Configuring Recording Settings
NOTE:
When the DVR is recording video, a red dot appears on the monitor.
Your DVR offers a variety of flexible recording modes. You can set it up to record
all the time or to only record events. It can be set up to continue recording once
the hard disk drive is full by recording over the oldest video, or you can set it up to
alert you when the hard disk is full and stop recording.
