Operating
Instructions

4.2.2 Advanced Settings
To get to the
ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
settings for recording:
1.
Open the MENU and scroll down to the
ADVANCED CONFIG
.
2. Select
the
RECORD
option.
There are a number of options that you can configure or engage here, such as:
1. Engaging the manual record override. This will make the DVR record constantly, regardless of whether
TIMER RECORD
or
MOTION RECORD
modes are engaged.
2. Activating or deactivating the
EVENT RECORDING
and
TIMER RECORDING
modes. If these are
deactivated, the conditions specified in the
QUICK START
menu will
not
trigger the DVR to record.
3.
EVENT RECORD IPS / TIMER RECORD IPS
– you are able to configure custom IPS settings for different
recording modes here. In addition, the highest applicable setting takes effect. For example, you could set
the DVR to record for a period at 3 images per second and when it detects motion, increase the IPS to a
much higher setting.
4.
OVERWRITE
: You can disable the default overwrite mode of the DVR. When
OVERWRITE
is set to
OFF
,
and the DVR hard drive fills up, it will simply stop recording, rather than record over the oldest footage first
(its default behaviour).
4.3 Programming the Timer
To most efficiently use the DVR, it is important to set the timer carefully. The instructions that follow cover setting the
timer for both
TIMER RECORDING
and
EVENT RECORDING
modes.
1. Open
the
MENU
.
2. From
the
QUICK
START
page, select either the
RECORD TIMER
or the
EVENT TIMER
(whichever you
want to set – you can set both to operate at once, but you must program each separately).
3. Set
the
applicable
TIMER
status to
ON
. Then, whilst
ON
is highlighted, press
. The following window will
appear:
4.
The horizontal axis shows hours of the day, in 24-hour time (0 being midnight, 12 being midday)
5.
The vertical axis shows the days of the week, from Sunday through Saturday.
6.
Using the arrow buttons, move the yellow cursor to the beginning of the interval you want to set.
7. Press to set the start point. The cursor will turn red.
8. Use the arrow buttons to move to the end point of the period you wish to set. You’ll notice that a blue bar
stretches between the start point and the cursors location.
9. Press
the button again to set the end point. The cursor will turn yellow again, and you are able to repeat
the process from step 4 to create another active interval.
10. When you have set all the intervals you want, press the MENU button to exit this screen.
11. Repeat this process if you wish to set a timer for an alternate recording mode.
