4) Set the date and time on your DVR. Please DO NOT change the date or time on your DVR after the recording function is activated. The recorded data will be disordered and you will not be able to find the recorded file to backup by time search.

NOTE:

If users change the date or time accidentally when the recording function is activated, it’s recommended to clear all HDD data, and start recording again.

For the connection application, please see the illustration below for an example.

3) TIMER RECORDING (scheduled time) : Recording is scheduled by Timer, indicated by the sign “TIMER RECORD”.

There must be at least 8192 images of recorded data for playback to work properly. If not, your DVR will stop the playback. For example, if the IPS is set to 30, the recording time should be at least 273 seconds (8192 images / 30 IPS) for the playback to work properly.

When the recording function is activated, please DO NOT change the date or time on your DVR. The recorded data will be disordered and you will not be able to find the recorded file to backup by time search.

NOTE:

If users change the date or time accidentally when the recording function is activated, it’s recommended to clear all HDD data, and start recording again.

Overwriting View

If you activate overwriting mode, you will also see “-OW-” under the recording mode except the system time, available HDD capacity, recording icon and channel title.

When the HDD is full under “-OW-” recording mode, the previous recorded files may be overwritten without further warning notice. Under “-OW-" mode, your DVR will clear 8GB data from the oldest for overwriting once the HDD is full.
