14. ADVANCED RECORDING
Advanced recording comprises of alarm, motion and schedule recording. Unlike the
continuous recording mode which records 24 hours a day and seven days a week
based on the same settings, these three recording options provides the user the
flexibility of customizing the record settings, thus making the most of the hard disk
drive usage. Moreover, using these features would shorten search time when the
needs arise, as the recorded can be directly accessed from the system logs.
