The Record Menu
Advanced
The
Overwrite
option is enabled by default. This allows the DVR to be able to record
events as they happen. If the hard drive is full, the DVR will record over recordings
already stored on the hard drive. The DVR will always record over the oldest files on
your hard drive first.
Note:
We recommend exporting important recordings off the HDD regularly before
they’re overwritten. For details on exporting recordings, see
“The Export Menu” on
page 12.
Holiday
There will be occasions when you don’t want the DVR to record using its normal
programming. Perhaps you require it to record more, or less, or just at different
times.
The
Holiday Settings
screen allows you to define periods of time where the DVR will
employ an alternate recording mode. You can define up to 32 holiday periods. These
periods can be categorized by date, week or month.
To set up a holiday recording schedule:
1. Double-click an unused holiday row.
2. In the
Holiday Name
field, enter a name.
3. Select the
Enable
checkbox.
4. Select the
Mode
(date, week or month)
5. Select the holiday’s start and end dates.
6. Click
OK
to save your holiday settings.
