Configuring Recording Settings
NOTE: Pressing the
REC
button on the front of the DVR will cause the red LED to light and
indicates the DVR is ready to record. However, this does not mean the DVR is recording.
The DVR records video based on the parameters such as schedule and events defined
during configuration. The record indicator on the front display panel lights when the DVR
is recording.
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.
