 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.

 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: Selecting the H.264 codec and enabling the VGA Enhancement function will cause the recording speed

to be decreased by half. Refer to the Display Setup, Main Monitor Settings section in this chapter for setting

up the VGA Enhancement function.

NOTE: The maximum recording and playback speed when using the H.264 codec is as follows.

When the DVR is in the Recording Mode only
