Time Display – This allows you to display the

system time on the channel’s screen

during playback or not. In addition,

by clicking the Set button, the time

display can be relocated anywhere on

the screen by clicking and dragging.

A “Before” and “After” example is

shown in Picture 3-14.

Mode - You can chose to have the NVR take

snapshots on a set schedule using

Timing, or when Triggered by an

event such as motion detection or

alarm input.

Channel Display – Like time display, this toggles the appearance of the channel’s number on

the screen during playback as well as allowing it to be repositioned in a similar fashion.

Snapshot

In addition to taking video of an event, the NVR can be set to record - and transmit - still

images from whichever cameras are enabled in the Schedule window (next pages).

The actual settings for the Snapshot feature are conﬁgured in the Snapshot window which can

be opened by clicking on the Snapshot button at the bottom of the Camera Setting window.

Image Size - The image size depends upon the capabilities of the camera, but they are listed

in descending order of size in the pull-down. Obviously, the higher the resolution, the

larger the ﬁle. You can chose to use a different format for snapshots than the format

that camera is conﬁgured to record video.

Image Quality - With a range of 1 to 6, this controls the quality of the snapshot(s). A setting

of “4” provides better images, but at an increased ﬁle size. You may have to lower the

quality if the ﬁle size exceeds your e-mail in-box’s capacity.

Snapshot Frequency - This will allow you to take 1-7 shots in sequence.

Each camera can be individually conﬁgured. These settings are what will be used when you

enable the Snapshot feature in any window that offers that option. Examples are highlighted

in yellow in Pictures 3-16 and 3-17.

NOTE! It is possible to have the Snapshot feature set to occur both on

schedule and when triggered by an event such as Motion Detection. The

triggered activation will take priority over the scheduled event.

SCHEDULE

The Schedule menu allows you to determine when your cameras will record and under what

circumstances. While the settings in this menu can be generally overridden by the user in the

Record menu, the settings made in the Schedule menu are more detailed and ﬂexible.

Channel – The ﬁrst setting is which channel

you wish to conﬁgure. In addition to

selecting a channel number, you can

globally conﬁgure all of your cameras

by selecting the All option.

Pre-Record – This allows you to capture the

moments before an event occurs.

You can set the lead time from 1 to

30 seconds depending on the bit

stream you are recording at.

Redundancy – This will only appear if your

NVR has more than one hard drive

installed. When you enable this

setting, the NVR will create a backup

copy of an event recording on the

second hard drive.

Snapshot –

By selecting this feature, you

enable the NVR to take a still image

“snapshot” when an alarm occurs. This

snapshot is for uploading to an FTP

site. Snapshots for e-mail attachments

are set under the Record Setting and

Alarm menus. (See Sections 3.4 &

4.3 respectively.)

Holiday Setting – You are able to set up a recording schedule that will be utilized on any day

that you set as a holiday in the calendar accessible through this button. This schedule

can be different from weekday and weekend schedules.

Period – You are able to set a recording schedule that will apply to speciﬁc days, to weekdays

or weekends in general, to holidays, or a blanket schedule that applies to every day.

Use the pull-down to select which day(s) you wish to apply a particular schedule.

Record Types – You can schedule which type of recording occurs at what time of the day.

There are six blocks of time that can be scheduled, and the duration of those blocks

can be determined as well. There are four types of recordings that can be made;

Regular (always recording), MD (motion detection) which is the NVR’s default setting,

Alarm and a combination of Motion and Alarm.

A white-ﬁlled box underneath a Record type indicates that it has been selected for that block

of time. If no boxes are selected, that camera will not record although you will be able to see

its video feed in Live View.
