4. Recording Overview
Before continuing with the Recording Overview please be sure to have reviewed DVR Menu Setup
(Chapter 3), specifically the Camera & Schedule Menus. You are now ready to begin setting up the
machine for recording. This chapter will show you how to setup the recorder for three basic types of
recording: Instant recording, scheduled recording, and event recording. Instant recording (N) is
simple; just press the Record button to start recording, much like pressing the record button on a VCR.
Scheduled recording (1~8) is based upon a set time period of when to begin & end the recording.
Event recording consists of an alarm, motion, or video loss triggering the DVR to record that event.
