Set up recording/events [REC & event]
The "REC & event" page has 3 tabs; the [Recording setup] tab, the [Event setup] tab and the [Advanced setup] tab.
Recording setup tab [Recording setup]
Configure the settings relating to schedule recording. Set the day(s), time table(s), frame rate and image quality for recording.
■ Schedules
Recording will be performed according to the schedules set
in advance. Select the day(s) of the week and the time
table(s).
[Days to record]
Select the day(s) of the week to record. Mark the
checkbox(es) of the day(s) of the week to record.
[Schedule to record]
3 time tables for schedule recording can be set up for "[Time
table 1]". The time bar indicates 24 hours in steps of 15 min-
utes.
Click the desired position on the time bar to designate the
start and end time. When the time is designated, the time
bar turns red.

already set on another time bar, the time immediately
before or after the overlapping time will be set.
[HDD saving mode]
Reduce the frame rate to use less storage space on the
HDD. Mark the checkbox of this item to save HDD storage
space. Using H.264/MPEG-4 as compression method in this
mode will record only refresh interval images; using MJPEG
will record at a frame rate of 1 ips. This mode can be set
separately for each time table.
[Advanced >] button
The "Advanced schedule setup" page will be displayed. In
addition to 3 schedule recordings, 3 event recordings can be
set up. (☞ Page 53)
