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.
Use the corresponding camera key to select/deselect the camera, a blank box indicates the camera
is not included in the record sequence.
Note:
You can also use this menu to congure which cameras are included in the variable rate
recording, which is covered in a later section of this manual.
No. 5 second events per hour
This parameter enables accurate calculation of recording capacity of the DS2. Enter the expected
number of 5 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.
