Manual: Record
The
Manual: Record
menu allows you to override any default
recording schedules in place. The recording schedule for each
camera connected, can be changed. Pressing the button next
to
Analog
will stop recording on all cameras. You can also
control each camera by pressing the button next to each of the
camera names. You can select normal recording (Recording by
manual operation) or motion detection recording (Recording
by schedule).
Normal:
The DVR will constantly record for any period where
Normal
is selected. You won’t miss anything, but constant
recording will fill your hard drive very quickly. (The DVR does
record the equivalent of a DVD film every two hours on every
channel, so that’s rather a lot of data!) Typically, we suggest
Motion as a better recording mode for most users.
Motion:
The recommended recording setting for most
applications. The DVR will only record when it detects
something moving in front of a camera, and will then only
record footage from the camera(s) that do detect motion
unless you alter your Action settings “Camera Management:
Motion” on page 28 to include other channels.
Manual: Alarm
The
Manual: Alarm
menu allows you to send a trigger to the
alarm output(s) to see that it is working correctly.
