Recording Video
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in
Chapter 2 —
Installation
, it is ready to record. Unless you change the setup, the DVR is
recording video and will continue recording until the hard disk drive is full. The
factory default is Stop when the hard disk drive is full. The DVR can be set to
continue recording (Overwrite) once the hard disk drive is full. It does this by
recording over the oldest video.
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
Chapter 3 — Configuration
for detailed descriptions of the recording mode options.
NOTE:
When the DVR is recording video, a red dot appears on the monitor.
Although you have set time-lapse or event recording, pressing the
Panic
button
activates panic recording, so the DVR will record video regardless of the time-lapse
or event recording schedule. Press the button again to release the panic recording.
NOTE:
When the DVR is in the panic recording mode, a white appears in the red dot which indicates the
DVR is recording, and the PANICLED on the front panel is lit.

If the DVR was set up to record audio, it will record audio when video is recording.
NOTE:
