Time Display
– This allows you to display the
system time on the channel’s screen
during playback or not. In addition,
by clicking the
Set
button, the time
display can be relocated anywhere on
the screen by clicking and dragging.
A “Before” and “After” example is
shown in
Picture 3-14
.
Mode
- You can chose to have the NVR take
snapshots on a set schedule using
Timing, or when Triggered by an
event such as motion detection or
alarm input.
Channel Display
– Like time display, this toggles the appearance of the channel’s number on
the screen during playback as well as allowing it to be repositioned in a similar fashion.
Snapshot
In addition to taking video of an event, the NVR can be set to record - and transmit - still
images from whichever cameras are enabled in the
Schedule
window (next pages).
The actual settings for the Snapshot feature are configured in the
Snapshot
window which can
be opened by clicking on the
Snapshot
button at the bottom of the
Camera Setting
window.

Image Size
- The image size depends upon the capabilities of the camera, but they are listed
in descending order of size in the pull-down. Obviously, the higher the resolution, the
larger the file. You can chose to use a different format for snapshots than the format
that camera is configured to record video.
Image Quality
- With a range of 1 to 6, this controls the quality of the snapshot(s). A setting
of “4” provides better images, but at an increased file size. You may have to lower the
quality if the file size exceeds your e-mail in-box’s capacity.
Snapshot Frequency
- This will allow you to take 1-7 shots in sequence.
Each camera can be individually configured. These settings are what will be used when you
enable the
Snapshot
feature in any window that offers that option. Examples are highlighted
in yellow in
Pictures 3-16
and
3-17
.

NOTE!
It is possible to have the Snapshot feature set to occur both on
schedule and when triggered by an event such as Motion Detection. The
triggered activation will take priority over the scheduled event.

SCHEDULE
The
Schedule
menu allows you to determine when your cameras will record and under what
circumstances. While the settings in this menu can be generally overridden by the user in the
Record
menu, the settings made in the
Schedule
menu are more detailed and flexible.
Channel
– The first setting is which channel
you wish to configure. In addition to
selecting a channel number, you can
globally configure all of your cameras
by selecting the
All
option.
Pre-Record
– This allows you to capture the
moments before an event occurs.
You can set the lead time from 1 to
30 seconds depending on the bit
stream you are recording at.
Redundancy
– This will only appear if your
NVR has more than one hard drive
installed. When you enable this
setting, the NVR will create a backup
copy of an event recording on the
second hard drive.
Snapshot
– By selecting this feature, you
enable the NVR to take a still image
“snapshot” when an alarm occurs. This
snapshot is for uploading to an FTP
site. Snapshots for e-mail attachments
are set under the
Record Setting
and
Alarm
menus. (See
Sections 3.4
&
4.3
respectively.)

Holiday Setting
– You are able to set up a recording schedule that will be utilized on any day
that you set as a holiday in the calendar accessible through this button. This schedule
can be different from weekday and weekend schedules.
Period
– You are able to set a recording schedule that will apply to specific days, to weekdays
or weekends in general, to holidays, or a blanket schedule that applies to every day.
Use the pull-down to select which day(s) you wish to apply a particular schedule.
Record Types
– You can schedule which type of recording occurs at what time of the day.
There are six blocks of time that can be scheduled, and the duration of those blocks
can be determined as well. There are four types of recordings that can be made;
Regular
(always recording),
MD
(motion detection) which is the NVR’s default setting,
Alarm and a combination of Motion and Alarm.
A white-filled box underneath a
Record
type indicates that it has been selected for that block
of time. If no boxes are selected, that camera will not record although you will be able to see
its video feed in
Live View
.
