Recording: Option
Overwrite:
This option allows the NVR to overwrite the oldest video files
on the hard drive when recording. This prevents the NVR from running
out of storage space. It’s recommended to leave this option enabled and
to backup important events before they are overwritten.
Pre-record:
It’s recommended to leave this option enabled as it allows
the NVR to record for a number of seconds before an event occurs.
Post-record:
This option instructs the NVR to record for a set period of
time after an event has occurred. The default setting will suit most day-
to-day situations, but you can change according to your needs.
Pack Duration:
This instructs the NVR to split the recording into dis-
crete units. Even though the recording is broken up into separate units,
the NVR will play it as one continual video. The default selection will suit
most day-to-day situations, but you can change according to your needs.
• Click the “Default” button to revert back to default settings.
• Don’t forget to click “Apply” to save settings.
• Right-click the mouse to exit the Menu.
The options availa-
ble here allow you to
change various as-
pects of how the NVR
will record video, such
as recording before
and after an event has
occurred as well as the
ability to record over
existing video, to make
room for new events
on the hard drive.
