The pre-record time can be configured as No Pre-record, 5 s, 10 s, 15 s, 20 s, 25 s, 30 s or 
not limited. 
The pre-record time changes according to the video bitrate.

For example, if an alarm triggered recording ends at 11:00, and the post-record time is 
set as 5 seconds, the network positioning system records until 11:00:05. 
The Post-record time can be configured as 5 s, 10 s, 30 s, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min or 10 min.
