This chapter covers how you can configure your initial recording settings, schedule recordings, protect your recorded files, and set up your HDD for redundancy. Enter menu mode by pressing the Menu button on the front panel or use the mouse menu to select Menu (see “Controlling live view mode” on page 28). See “Menu overview” on page 23 for a list of the menu icons.
9BChapter 10: Recording 3. Select the camera you want to configure. 4. Configure the following recording settings: • Encoding parameters: Select one of the stream types: Mainstream (TLHi, Mainstream (TL-Lo), Mainstream (Event), Mainstream (Alarm), or Substream. • Stream type: Select the type of stream to record, either video or video and audio. • Resolution: Select the resolution of the recording. • Bit rate type: Select Constant or Variable. • Video quality: Select the quality at which to record.
9BChapter 10: Recording • Post-record: This is the time the camera continues to record after the scheduled time or event. Select the time in seconds to stop post-recording after the scheduled time or event. • Auto-delete (day): Select the number of days after which recorded video from the specified camera is permanently deleted from the HDD. A “day” is defined as the 24-hour period from when the auto delete mode (ADM) was set. The maximum number of days that can be set is 60.
9BChapter 10: Recording To configure for overwrite when the HDDs are full: 1. Click the Video Schedule icon in the menu toolbar. 2. Select More Settings. 3. Under Overwrite, select Yes. Defining a recording schedule Defining a recording schedule lets you specify when the NVR records video and under what circumstances. Each camera can be configured to have its own recording schedule. The schedules are visually presented on a map for easy reference. See Figure 33 below for an example.
9BChapter 10: Recording TL-Lo (Bright green): Low quality time lapse. Records low quality video. This could be used, for example, for night recordings when few events or alarms are expected. Saving the video in low quality helps save resources on the HDD. Event (Yellow): Records only events, such as motion detection and POS/ATM text insertion. Alarm (Red): Records only alarms. None (Grey): No recording during this period. 5. Timeline. There is a 24-hour time line for each day.

Chapter 11 Alarm settings This chapter describes setting up how the system will respond when an alarm is triggered. Description of alarm notification types When setting up the rules for alarm detection, you can specify how you want the NVR to notify you about an alarm or event. You can select more than one notification type. Not all notifications types are available for all types of alarms.
10BChapter 11: Alarm settings Setting up motion detection Motion detection is one of the most important features of a NVR. With it there is no need to manually search through hours of video recordings to find an event. The NVR can be set up to trigger an alarm if it detects motion and to record it. You can then search these recorded motion activities for specific incidents. If enabled, motion detection recording can help increase the number of days your NVR can record.
10BChapter 11: Alarm settings 5. Set the sensitivity level. Drag the Sensitivity scroll bar to the desired sensitivity level. The highest value is on the right of the bar. 6. Select the cameras that will record the motion detected. Click Rule. The Rule screen appears. Click the Trigger Channel tab and select the cameras that will record when a motion alarm is triggered. Click Apply to save the settings. 7. Select the recording schedules for motion detection.
10BChapter 11: Alarm settings Click the Rule tab to define the method by which you want the NVR to notify you of the alarm. Click Apply to save settings. 9. Click OK to return to the motion detection settings screen. 10. Click Back to return to live view.

10BChapter 11: Alarm settings The timeout setting lets you define how long a signal remains active after the alarm has ended. 4. Select the arming schedules for the alarm output. Click Rule and select the day of the week and the time periods during the day when alarm outputs can be detected. You can schedule up to eight time periods in a day. Default is 24 hours. Click Apply to save the settings. Click Copy to copy the settings to other days of the week and holiday period.
10BChapter 11: Alarm settings screen to also alert you. See “Status information” on page 27 for further information. The system notifications include: • HDD Full: All installed HDDs are full (overwrite option is disabled). • HDD Error: Errors occurred while files were being written to the HDD, no HDD installed or HDD had failed to initialize. • Network Disconnected: Disconnected network cable. • IP Conflicted: Conflict in IP address setting. • Illegal Login: Wrong user ID or password used.
10BChapter 11: Alarm settings 8. Click Back to return to live view.
