RECORDING
By default, the system is set to record continuously at startup from any connected cameras. It is
highly recommended to keep continuous recording on at all times.
The system can perform Continuous Recording, Motion Recording, Continuous + Motion
Recording, Alarm Recording, and Panic Recording. You can set a customized daily or weekly
recording schedule using these recording modes. For complete details, see "Using the Recording
Menu" on page 76.
Continuous Recording
By default, all camera channels are enabled with continuous recording. During Continuous
Recording, a yellow "C" appears in the top-right corner of each channel.
Figure 6.1 Continuous recording on all channels (Quad display mode shown).
Motion Recording
The system will only record when motion is detected by a camera. When Motion Recording is
enabled but not active, a green square appears in the top-right corner of every channel. The
system DOES NOT record when the green square is present. When motion is detected, a
yellow"M" appears in the top-right corner of each channel. You can set the pre and post recording
time in the Recording Operations menu.
