3. Highlight the slide bar beside Limit Time-Lapse Recording, and use the Left

and Right arrow buttons to adjust the length of the maximum storage time for

time-lapse recording from 1 to 99 days.

Î The Limit Time-Lapse Recording feature will function when the storage device

has enough space to record video data longer than the preset period. When

this feature is On, the DVR records over the oldest “time-lapse” video once all

available storage has been used in the Recycle mode, so more event video

can be saved. Selecting Never will disable the Limit Time-Lapse Recording

function.

NOTE

When the storage device does not have enough space to record video data longer than the preset

Limit Time-Lapse Recording period, the DVR records over the oldest video data (time-lapse or event

video) as it would in the Recycle mode even if this feature is turned On.

NOTE

The maximum storage time is only an estimate because the amount of space required to store video

varies depending on many factors such as motion and image complexity.

CAUTION

When more than one disk is installed in the unit, the DVR records video on the disks

sequentially based on time. And these sequentially recorded videos have the

advantage that you can search recorded video easily even though a disk is removed

from the unit. However, video recorded in the same time range might be saved on

different disks by channel and by the type of recording mode. Once the Limit Time-

Lapse Recording is set to On, the DVR will maintain this recording limitation even

after disabling the function. If you want the DVR to record video on the disks

sequentially based on time again, you must format all disks that are currently used

for recording.

4. Highlight the Panic Recording – Duration box and set the duration of panic

recording.

Î Panic recording will stop automatically after the preset duration as long as the

Panic button is not pressed to stop the panic recording. You can set the dwell

from 5 minutes to 1 hour. Select "No Limit" if you want to stop panic recording

manually.

Highlighting the Panic Recording – ips box and pressing the

button

allows you to set the images per second for Panic recording. You can select

from 1.00 to 25.00 (30.00 for NTSC) images per second.

Highlighting the Panic Recording – Quality box and pressing the

button

allows you to set the recorded image quality for Panic recording. You can

select from: Very High, High, Standard and Low.

Î You can save your Record settings by highlighting Save and pressing the

button.

Î Selecting Cancel exits the screen without saving the changes.
