Tips:
- Use motion detection recording instead of using scheduled recording in order to use the
recorder storage space efficiently.
- Think of using the motion detection in a low activity area and let the DSR (Digital Surveillance
Recorder) monitor the area for you.
- If you use motion detection you will be able to find useful footage more easily through the
search engine.
- Set up the motion detection correctly to prevent too many false alarms from occurring.
- Think of using the alarm scheduler to arm the motion detection so that it can start e.g. after
office hours.
7) Alarm Status Indication
- The status indicators in the "Display" control
buttons are for motion detection status
indication.
- The indicator will light up if the motion detection
is enabled.
- There are three possible alarm settings: no
alarm, alarm set but out of scheduled time and
alarm armed.
- Grey indicator colour: no alarm is set.
- Red indicator colour: motion detection is armed,
the alarm recording can be triggered at any
time.
- Blue indicator colour: motion detection is set but the alarm recording can only be triggered during the
scheduled time period.
d. Recording
STORAGE DRIVE
'Normal' mode of operation: automatically detects available fixed hard disk(s) in the unit for recording.
'Archive' mode of operation: directly records onto the active removable hard disk in the unit.
Notes: The active (selected) drive should be properly assigned before the overall backup and restore
operation is executed. Assign the target drive inside the 'Insert drive' message box by clicking the
'Swap Drive' button while the system is operated in 'Archive' backup mode. Go to 'Option Setting' for
further details.
RECORDING TYPES
Four different recording types are available: Instant recording/scheduled recording/alarm
recording/pre-alarm recording.
MULTIPLE CAMERA RECORDING
All cameras can record independently. Each camera will record into individual
video files. The camera-ID, start date/time and the recording mode of the
individual camera will be logged through database management.
