Understanding the 4RE System
Pre-event time
An agency can set up a recorded event so that it includes a set time before the actual record
started. The graphic below is an example of the timeline, with the pre-event time at one
minute. That one minute is included in the official recorded event. Although the event started
at 8:10 am by auto-trigger, the recorded event will officially start at 8:09 am.

Stop control
Use Stop on the Display Control Panel to stop a recorded event. Recorded events
can be auto-stopped (page 81) , but are typically stopped by pressing the Stop
control once or twice. depending on your configuration. If you are in a multi-peer
recording group, the
Stop status is passed on to the other members.
4RE DVR marks the segment between pressing the Record control and pressing the
Stop control as protected. If the 4RE DVR is configured to use event tags, when you
press the Stop control, the DVR prompts you to provide additional event details.
Important! If the 4RE DVR is powered on, it is continuously recording to the
hard drive. Pressing the Stop control does not stop this continuous recording—it
only marks the end of the protected recorded event.
