 Record Audio: Check the checkbox to enable or disable audio recording.
 Pre-record: The time you set to record before the scheduled time or event. For example, when
an alarm triggers the recording at 10:00, and if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the
camera records at 9:59:55.
 Post-record: The time you set to record after the event or the scheduled time. For example,
when an alarm triggered recording ends at 11:00, and if you set the post-record time as 5
seconds, it records till 11:00:05.
 Expired Time: The expired time is period for a recorded file to be kept in the HDD. When the
deadline is reached, the file will be deleted. If you set the expired time to 0, the file will not be
deleted. The actual keeping time for the file should be determined by the capacity of the HDD.
 Redundant Record/Capture: By enabling redundant record or capture you save the record and
captured picture in the redundant HDD. See Chapter Configure Redundant Recording and
Capture.
 Stream Type: Main stream and sub-stream are selectable for recording. When you select
sub-stream, you can record for a longer time with the same storage space.
