In addition to scheduled and alarm-triggered
recording at a Video Server, manual (instant)
recording can be done at a Video Server (up
to 16 cameras at a time--depending on your
Video Server model), and at remote stations
(up to 16 cameras from any desired Video
Servers at a time).
Instant Playback: If the "Instant Playback" feature is
enabled, videos that are presently being recorded
can be played back. Note: This closes the present
recording file (to allow it to be played-back), and
starts a new recording file.
TechNote: Multi-camera recording at a Video
Server may cause a reduced frame rate. For
maximum frame-rate, be sure to display no more
than one camera from each capture board at the
same time.
Filename / Location Reference:
Captured video files are stored under \dsr-video on
the specific PC, in folders for each 'server' (PC name
or IP address), camera name, and date.
Remote Station: d:\dsr-video\Image\ServerIP
\Camera\date
Video Server: d:\dsr-video\Image\Server
\Camera\date (on each applicable drive).
Tip: You can set the drive(s) for recording.

Audio: Some cameras at each Video Server can have
a microphone connected. This sound can also be
monitored at authorized remote stations.
Related Topics: 16.7 Remote Audio Monitoring
Audio Recording: Audio is not recorded as a separate
file. Instead, it is included in any local or remotely
recorded AVI (or MPEG) files for the specific camera.
Legal Notice: The recording of live audio is subject to
local bylaws. Be sure to find out if audio recording is
restricted in your area before proceeding.

Then, use the red button near the top right
corner of the camera-image to start or stop the
recording. (The button will appear yellow
during the recording.)
Recording from a remote station is subject to your
connection speed. Dial-up is slowest.
Alarm Alert Recordings: At applicable remote
stations, the alarm alert feature can be set to
automatically record (and/or only display) the
associated camera/view each time an alarm alert is
received.
