RECORD AND PLAYBACK OPERATION
This section covers basic operation of the Record/Playback features. For full
instructions on Record/Playback setup, see
Record on page 48.
Recording
The recording parameters that are configured for your system affect record quality
and duration. Record duration is dependent on image quality, recording speed,
custom settings (such as record schedule and alarm event modes), and the size of the
Event Record Partition (see
Record on page 48). The default settings (factory settings)
are normally set for full-time recording with a high recording speed.
Specifically, the Record feature allows for linear and circular recording, recording
based on wired, motion, and video loss alarms, and for night/day/weekend record
schedules. The Record feature also allows you to adjust recording all video or
recording while alarmed. You can select record rate parameters and quality image
settings, and determine pre-alarmed video recording time.
NOTE: The Preset Configuration option allows you to select a preset recording
profile. For example, Best Quality is a combination of settings that can result
in very good quality video, but such video requires more disk space. If you
want to enable your own settings, select Off.
Quick Record Setting Changes on page 21 contains an example of how you can set up
record parameters. For more detailed information on setting up recording
parameters, see
Record on page 48.
