Setting up Pre-Alarm 
Recording 
The NetVision system can make continuous 
short recordings (1 - 300 sec.) during 
scheduled alarm-monitoring times, with only 
the two most recent being retained at any time 
(for each camera). When an alarm is 
triggered, this provides a recording of the 
scene just before the alarm occurred without 
using up a lot of hard drive space. This 
pertains to recording that is triggered by 
external sensors/inputs, or video motion 
detection. 
TechTip: Scheduled (and manual / 
instant) recording are not available while 
pre-alarm recording is in effect on a 
specific camera (i.e., during the scheduled 
alarm/monitoring times).
Locator: (Logged in at the Video Server as 
a "Supervisor"), 
Select: [Utility], then [Recorder Setting]. 
Select Alarm , and then make your desired 
selections for each camera: 
-------------------------------------------------- 
(External Alarm Input) 
To support pre-alarm recording, the external 
input must be enabled for the specific camera 
(even if you're using this only with video motion 
detection). 
External Sensor Triggered Recording: This 
feature is covered separately.
