Chapter 5

Recording settings

This chapter provides instructions on how to define the recording settings of your NVR.

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 72). See “Menu

overview” on page 22 for a list of the menu icons.

Configuring recording settings

Before you can set up your NVR to begin recording, you must first configure general

recording settings for the IP cameras.

Ensure that the HDD has been installed and initialized before configuring the recording

settings. See Chapter 8 “Storage management” on page 57 for more information.

To configure recording settings:

1. From the menu toolbar, click Video Schedule > Encoding > Record.
