5.6 Record Quality

 

There are three levels of recording quality: High, Normal, and Low. 

Higher quality records the best images but uses more hard drive space. 

Record frame rate, record quality and available hard drive space will affect the 

total recording time of the DVR system. 

 

5.7 Schedule Set

 

You can preset video recording modes by Time and Motion Detection 

Recording. 

 

- 8 - 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example: 

If you want to record by motion detecton during 3 to 6 o’clock, set the time 

points (3, 4, 5) to “M”; if you want to continuous record from 7 to 12 o’clock, set 

the time points (7, 8, 9, 10, 11) to “T”. 

Both of the recording methods need to be triggered by pressing the 

[ REC] 

button. After pressing 

[ REC]

 button, if the schedule is set to “T” at that time, the 

DVR will start to record immediately; if the schedule is set to be “M”, the DVR will 

not record until motion (movement) is detected by system.

   

Numbers along bottom indicate the 24 

hours of a day
