Record (Schedule)
The DVR allows for continuous recording or recording by schedule. To record continuously, just select the
continuous mode in the Record (Setup) window. The Record (Schedule) window allows the user to set each
camera by a schedule. The schedule is broken down by individual camera, day, and hour. There is even a spe-
cial holiday period which can be set to record differently than the normal recording mode. To set the record-
ing mode, click the Schedule button on the main Record window. This will bring up the Record (Schedule)
window. Select the camera or cameras you wish to change, click the recording mode you wish the cameras to
record in. The options are :
• Continuous
- Will record continuously without regard to motion or sensors. A red dot will
appear in the top right corner of the camera screen indicating that the camera is in continuous
recording mode.
• Sensor
- Will only record when the system detects motion or there is a sensor alarm.
The system will display two icons; a running man and a bell. These icons will be blue when there is
no sensor alarm or motion indicating that the DVR is in Sensor and Motion record mode. They
will turn red when there is a sensor alarm or motion is detected. This indicates that the DVR is
recording video while the icon is red.
• Motion
- The system will record only when motion is detected. It will stop after motion has
stopped. The system will display a running man icon. It will be blue when there is no motion
indicating that the DVR is in Motion record mode. It will turn red when there motion is detected.
This indicates that the DVR is recording video while the icon is red. A yellow running man icon
indicates that DVR is not set to record when there is motion, but the motion grid is active and will
display the yellow running man icon when there is motion. If you wish to not have the running
man icon up when recording has been set to something other than motion recording, you must go
into the motion area setup and remove all grids.
•
Sensor
- The system will only record when there is a sensor alarm. The DVR will record for the
duration of the alarm event. The duration of the event is set up in the Device (Alarm) window
of the Device menu. If the contact is still sending a signal after the duration period, then another
event will occur and the DVR will record video. A blue bell icon will be displayed indicating that
the DVR is set to record when there is a sensor alarm. It will turn red during the recording of
video. A yellow bell icon indicates that sensor alarming has been set up on the DVR, but it is
not recording based on sensor alarms. To turn off the yellow bell icon you must disable the alarm
in the Device (Alarm) setup window.
• No Recording
- This will stop all recording. If the sensor alarm and motion grids are set in the
system they will continue to display when there is a sensor event or motion, but will be displayed in
yellow indicating no recording is taking place.
