Record Function
Note: Depending upon settings discussed in this section, recording takes place continuously on the
AurorAcorD. Typically, you do not need to manually start the recording process unless you manually
stop recording using the Stop Record function. Note that the primary storage device is the AurorAcorD
hard drive. You may record audio and define audio AGC as discussed in Quick Programming.
The AurorAcorD records video continuously to the hard drive. You may also define a scheduled time for
recording video, as discussed in the Schedules section of this manual, and archive video to the CD-RW or
floppy, as discussed in the Operation chapter. Recorded video may be played back by manual selection, as
discussed in the Operation chapter.
