Record Cameras
Each camera can be individually included or excluded from the standard record settings.
Using the
button to highlight the Record cameras option and press to enter the Record Cameras menu.

which is covered in a later section of this manual.
No. 5 seconds events per hour
This parameter enables accurate calculation of recording capacity of the BX2. Enter the expected number
of ve second events that will be recorded during an hour. The system will use this estimate to calculate the
expected hard disk usage.
Record Duration
This will show an estimate of the number of days and hours before the recorded images on the hard disc will
be overwritten. The maximum record time is read only and will be displayed when the record or alarm rate (day
or night) is highlighted. It will be automatically calculated by the unit when the standard or alarm record rate is
changed, the maximum recording time will not include the audio if enabled.
Tip: Reducing the le size (KB) or record rate (PPS) will increase the maximum recording time.
Maximum storage (protected %)
The maximum storage setting is read only. This displays the total video storage, in Gigabytes (GB), along with
the percentage of video storage that is protected from being overwritten.
Note: The calculations for recording time assume there is no protected video. Video that is protected
will need to be manually unprotected in the ‘Image Protection’ menu before it can be used for
recording again.
Earliest unprotected recording
The earliest unprotected recording displays the date and time of the rst image on the disk that has not been
protected.
