y Recycle When Disk Full: Selecting this box records over the oldest video data once all available storage space
has been used. When the box is not checked, the DVR stops recording once all available storage has been used.
y Codec: Select the codec between H.264 and MPEG-4. Selecting the new codec displays a message asking you
to confirm whether or not you want to restart the system because the system must be restarted before applying the
new codec and you will lose all recording data.
CAUTION: When changing the codec all recording data is deleted before applying the new
codec. If you don’t want to delete the recording data, back up it using the clip-copy function.
NOTE: The maximum recording and playback speed when using the H.264 codec is as follows.

of cameras that are turned On is two or less.
